For immediate release:
Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government. A symbolic or ritualistic violation of the law. Henry David Thoreau’s image was chosen because of his essay on civil disobedience which influenced the political thoughts and actions of such figures as Tolstoy, Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Given the current state our industry is in we feel it is our duty to release a cigar that bares this name. Civil Disobedience will be our first event exclusive cigar, only available at MoyaRuiz Cigar events. Civil Disobedience is being released in only one size robusto. The blend is an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, with a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The cigar will be sold in a 10 count soft pack at a retail price of $59.99. This special release is our response to the potential FDA regulations of the cigar industry. A portion of the proceeds of Civil Disobedience sales, will be donated to the Cigar Rights of America. To help with this fight!
“When a regulation is unjust and imposes on our freedoms, we must disobey.” –MoyaRuiz Cigars
When Emerson came to bail out his friend Thoreau, in jail for not paying taxes (part which went to support Polk’s war with Mexico), he was reported asking “Why are you here?” Thoreau’s response: “Why aren’t you here?”
As poet you would know these things Christopher.
