I completely agree with your point, and statistically speaking, you are probably correct. I am usually the youngest person in my local shop by 20+ years. But allowing a small age bump now could lead to a host of other issues, including new blends being subject to governmental treatment, price floors on "premium cigars", etc. What threatens my liberties today may very well threaten yours tomorrow.
