I went to an event at the B&M last night and the Davidoff rep gave me a nice ball cap. This is what the industry has do to now since caps and shirts are considered advertisements. I'm going to leave the tag on to exhibit how silly things have become.

Definitely leave the tag on. Awesome hat. The warning label looks like a fortune cookie fortune.

Yeah that's an awesome hat! And that warning label is BRILLIANT!!! I had no idea tobacco could cause cancer!! That's disappointing considering how heavily invested I am in the stuff. Are they sure about that?

I'm definitely positive, that I'm skeptical, I think.

The warning label makes me think I should smoke the hat

I was given the last Missouri Meerschaum freebie cap at the TAPS show ticket table, and I am proud to say, it was pre-tag mandate. Now I'm afraid to wear it for fear I'll lose such a treasure.

Definetly. Try a little piece out at first and age the rest. I don't think it's going to be a grandfathered in blend. You're going to want to see how it matures with a few years on it.

Davidoff Red Cap
A beautiful molded flake of bright and red virginias stitched together with burley fibers. There is a concern that this will fade with age so enjoy it now.

I guess I'm a little confused.
Is the Surgeon General worried about the cigar or the cap?
Or, it could be the red dye in the cap. See how complicated things get?

Now I wonder if caps advertising beer or food companies will have to carry the same types of labels.

We should "own" the warning.
Put the words "Sturgeon General Warning: Smoking Can Cause Heart Cancer and Lung Disease" on everything, name blends cancer and heart disease, etc.

I think you're right deathmetal. Then everyone will know that the blend "Possible Corroded Artery Endarderectomy" might be bad for them. I'm going to go search out things to smoke that definetly don't have a warning label on it. You know, the safe stuff. First on the list - carrots in my refrigerator. Next - crack cocaine.

Wow! Been along time since I've seen Cancer show up on a tobacco product. Around here I see a lot of Asthma and health warnings, I wonder if these propaganda pieces are region zoned? Oops, I better bolt, here comes the cap police.

Funny thing is fluffie, tthe government would less likely bother you over crack than the legal substance tobacco.

It is kind of strange that the law stipulates that anywhere a tobacco company puts their logo they also have to include the warning. That's why the "Marlboro Limited" sweepstakes train didn't have the Marlboro logo on it. They were afraid nobody would want to ride the "cancer train".
