It's a dire situation. I understand that both the cigar and pipe tobacco companies are lobbying for a moratorium on the date of enforcement, and are additionally trying to get the cut-off date moved from 2007 to at least 2014 or '15. There may be some haggling on the date, but it remains to be seen what happens. I do think the '07 date is arbitrary and just meant to hurt the industry, as that was around the time the pipe and cigar industries had a genuine renaissance after the late-90s boom. The boom brought new smokers to existing brands, but it took almost a decade for the tobacco farms and producers to meet demand and present new and interesting leaves for blenders to create new products with (plus the return of Perique from the brink of extinction).
