Earlier today we broke the story on the lawsuit of Global Premium Cigars vs FDA and a little while ago Enrique Sánchez of Global Premium Cigars issued the following statement.
When I joined this beautiful industry, I promised myself that I would do what ever was necessary to make the cigar industry better, and leave a legacy for my kids to carry on in life. Today, that dream is in jeopardy due to the FDA’s Deeming Regulations, and I feel I have the obligation to protect our industry, lifestyle, consumers, clients, friends, and our family from these terrible threats.
It’s time for action! Talking belongs in the past…
We need to take charge in what we believe, and make a change for the good of all. Let us continue to believe in the American Dream, and let us make sure that our kids can do the same without overreaching government regulation.
This will be a long and tough battle, but in the end we believe that the fight is important. I have faith in the US legal system, and in the American people, and I know that together we can make a difference.
In the few next days, we will be giving you more information in how you can support, and help us with the tools to fight with strength. We already have people like Leaf by Oscar and Luis Falto of Falto Cigars that have also taken the initiative to fight with us, and I hope that our path will be followed by many more friends that really love this industry, and are willing to fight with us, and for our future. Our voice will be heard, and we will make a difference for our generation and the ones to come.
