The Cigar Rights of America (CRA) is a consumer-focused, grassroots advocacy group that protects the rights of premium cigar smokers, retailers, manufacturers, and growers by fighting unfair taxes, smoking bans and regulations while educating lawmakers on the difference between premium cigars and other tobacco products, and mobilizing activism to preserve the industry and the freedom to enjoy cigars responsibly. Every year, the CRA puts together a terrific sampler for all to enjoy with some of the proceeds benefiting their advocacy efforts.
