Facebook has started deleting any cigar related sites today. So far they've taken down Cigar Cartel and C.A.S.T

Facebook... the hemorrhoid of all Social Media.

Sounds like theyve singled out sites with sales, trades or people seeking cigars. Might not be bad news for some brick and mortars!

So maybe some of the Facebook crew may come back to us here on forum ?

It's technically illegal to have a secondary market for tobacco and alcohol. So I guess that's what's fueling all of these changes. I'm personally not surprised that groups like C.A.S.T. are getting taken down, and in some ways, I agree with it. There's just little oversight for potential scams and I would frequently see posts about people who had been screwed over. And I also think the PowerBall-style sellers are scam artists. Some would ask $50 for a 1 in 26 chance of winning a box of cigars. C'mon.

But as far as the sites that are strictly hobby related, such as CigarDojo--I just don't see why YouTube or others would go after them. Apparently they can still post, but they're not getting ad revenue. I guess it gets into the advertising laws for tobacco?

What we need is a strict delineation between premium cigars and pipe tobacco from other kinds of tobacco. They're just not the same thing.
