Was saddened to see in the Finck's catalog I received today, that they have closed down their family-owned cigar factory in San Antonio. TX. The family factory had been in operation since 1893, and the government is to blame, in Finck's words. The cigars formerly hand-rolled in San Antonio will now be handled by the factories that make their other cigars. He also noted that some of the cigars that were machine made using their vintage machines, may now be made by hand in the other factories.
And we are still waiting to see what the FDA regulations are going to bring.

Dang.
I mean, I've never even tried their cigars. But, dang. Hate to hear it.
