http://www.halfwheel.com/recap-tobacco-expo-2013/You can read the entire article, but I found the following concerning:
"The final takeaway from TPE 2013 was that a chemist from the Food & Drug Administration was on-hand both days, seemingly trying to gather some information about the products being offered, most of which don't bear mentioning here. While I didn't get the chance to speak with her at length, she did make two stops to the Cigar Rights of America booth and stopped by Gurkha's booth to learn about the Supernatural line and to ask if they were flavored or infused, a distinction that is becoming increasingly important as the premium cigar industry looks to ward off FDA regulation. It remains to be seen if the FDA tries to gain entry to the IPCPR trade show this year, but it will be a scenario worth watching. Either way, the threat of FDA regulation is becoming increasingly real to the premium cigar industry."
It will be interesting to see if they send a delegate to IPCPR.
