Protects Consumer Choice
Premium cigars are handcrafted products enjoyed occasionally by informed adults. H.R. 2111 would ensure they are not swept into regulations designed for fundamentally different, mass-market tobacco products.
Take Action
Tell Congress: Support H.R. 2111, the CIGAR Act
Protect premium cigars, consumer choice, and America’s small cigar businesses from future regulatory overreach.
Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL), joined by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, has introduced H.R. 2111, the CIGAR Act. This commonsense legislation would establish a clear exemption for premium cigars from FDA regulation, ensuring they are treated distinctly from mass-market tobacco products and protected from future regulatory overreach.
H.R. 2111 was introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Why H.R. 2111 Matters
Prevents Future Overreach
Although a federal court vacated FDA regulation of premium cigars, that protection is not permanent. H.R. 2111 would codify a clear definition and exemption in federal law, guarding against a future regulatory reversal.
Supports Small Businesses
Family-owned manufacturers and specialty cigar retailers can face substantial compliance costs under federal tobacco regulation. H.R. 2111 would protect these businesses from an inappropriate regulatory framework that threatens their long-term viability.
