I agree with the commissioner on his recommendations for grandfathering existing products as of January 2009 and that any new product after that date must meet one of the five criteria listed. I have already seen some roll your own being passed off as pipe tobacco. I did not think that it was fair when the RYO tobacco tax was increased so much(did big cigarette companies have something to do with this?), but I certainly do not want to see pipe tobacco being taxed at the same rate. There is a world of difference between smoking a pipe using real pipe tobacco and smoking cigarettes using RYO tobacco. If the RYO companies want to enter the pipe tobacco world, please make them produce real pipe tobacco.
