I haven't been keeping up with the news too much. I know about this deadline, but I'm not sure what the consequences will be.
Is there a list somewhere of tobaccos that will cease to be sold because the manufacturers aren't planning on submitting applications for them?
Are people "stocking up" on blends that will disappear? I may have misunderstood what's going on.
Nobody really knows what will happen law wise or price wise. The doomsayers will tell you that the sky is falling. Best thing to do is to buy what you like now in the largest quantities you can.As a new pipe smoker, I’d also like to know this information so I can adequately prepare for this.
This. If you've the means, load up. Another ongoing concern is the banning of Internet sales. If the prospect looked grim for B&M's it looks downright abysmal now with the expected recession/depression; so don't think of relying on a local store to keep supplying you. Again: load up now.Nobody really knows what will happen law wise or price wise. The doomsayers will tell you that the sky is falling.

Not sure about a total, but all of Mac Baren's HH line, many of GL Pease's blends, and all of the Dunhill/Peterson blends are on the chopping block.As a new pipe smoker, I’d also like to know this information so I can adequately prepare for this.

Was that an insult or a compliment?Do you see how Chambers puts up a link to the article but also tells us in one line the really important part so lazy asses like me don't have to work to get the info. Bravo Chambers, everyone should take note and thank Chambers for his understanding of how lazy some of us are.
Maybe it is just me but shouldn't the FDA be using everything in their power to help with the virus. The fact that they would even mention the deeming regs is disgusting with so many people dying.

Interesting mesh of my user name as I am related to the Chambers family.
I get more of an Oswald Chambers vibe from him. Preach it, Embers.Were you related to Marilyn Chambers ?
If they are not submitted to the deeming process ($25,000/blend IIRC) they will be cut.So they’re sure to get cut or there is still a chance that they’ll be unaffected.

Essentially, if a tobacco product introduced on the market or modified after Feb. 15, 2007, has to go through the PMTA (premarket tobacco application) process. The FDA will evaluate the application for health risks, etc. The kicker is that some estimate that each application (one per product) will be so prohibitively expensive - at least $100,000 USD - that most manufactures will not bother and will remove the product from the market. And there is no guarantee of approval.So they’re sure to get cut or there is still a chance that they’ll be unaffected?
I intend to spend the better portion of my evening researching this as I’m admittedly ignorant. However, is there a brief Cliff’s notes version I can quickly share with a few buddies who are equally uninformed and equally affected?
As far as I understand, that is correct.So, if I’m understanding this correctly - if they pay $25,000/blend they can continue to be produced, in spite of being developed after 2007? So this is more of a concern for smaller companies than some of the majors? Or am I missing something important/obvious?
Yes, if they submit the blends for inspection, they will be allowed to continue.So, if I’m understanding this correctly - if they pay $25,000/blend they can continue to be produced, in spite of being developed after 2007?
