The Cigar Rights of America wasted no time with a quick response to the smoking ban in NYC. The following comes from their website.

Mayor Bloomberg and Speaker of City Council Christine Quinn Need to Hear from YOU!

Cigar Rights of America has learned that contrary to earlier statements by New York City Council, Mayor Michael Bloomerg and Speaker of City Council Christine Quinn intend to press for a vote on their comprehensive outdoor smoking ban, that affects city parks, beaches, and major pedestrian thorough fares. Also in earlier statements, a vote was not anticipated for several months. The vote may be today or tomorrow. ACT NOW.

I still support the CRA

Posted by acigarsmoker on December 4th, 2010

It has come to my attention that some people believe that I am against the CRA and I do not support the CRA. This is false. While I have had some differences of opinions with the direction of the CRA I want it to succeed. The work being done by Glynn and Brian is long, hard and tedious and without there work our rights to smoke would soon be abolished if left unchallenged.

I had let my membership lapse mostly out of uncertainty of the effectiveness of the fight of my home state of New York, but it has come to my attention the countless hours put in to stop a smoking ban in New York City. These efforts have brought me back and I have renewed my membership.

The Cigar Rights of America is our voice and should be supported by anyone who smokes cigars. $35.00 a year to have someone speak for you isn’t a big price and I recommend being a member of this group.

I have never stopped being a CRA supporter, and sadly my voice was misinterpreted otherwise.

In my mind there are 3 things that should never be discussed in a cigar shop and those are 1) Religion 2) Politics and 3) Another man’s wife. Well I am about to create what some consider a cardinal sin by mixing politics into a Cigar Blog and mention the CRA again. Don’t cringe to hard.

A few months back the Cigar Rights of America announced the Smoke the Vote campaign and stated…

It’s Time To Speak Up…

Posted by acigarsmoker on October 12th, 2010

Over the last few days I have spoken to my good friend Gary J. Artz about the CRA, Cigar Rights, and everything under the sun about cigar smoking, America and our rights in general. We have also spoken about the things that friends normally chat about. I respect his view on the CRA and I look forward to his next article on The Arzt of Cigars where he tackles the anonymous posting about the CRA that appeard on my site the other day.

Despite our differences on the CRA and a friendly debate on various issues concerning the group we both agree that it is the only game in town and they provide a voice for us when we cannot get an audience.

Sunday Editorial

Posted by acigarsmoker on September 26th, 2010

As many of you know I’ve been pretty vocal about the CRA. Well in August Glynn agreed to do an interview with me but when I submitted the questions he wasn’t too happy with them so he offered to write an editorial instead. That editorial never came. In the mean time a reader of this [...]
