http://www.cigars-habanos.com – FDA Warning Letter

The FDA issued a Warning Letter to Mr. Ferreira regarding violations observed on the websites http://www.cigars-habanos.com, http://www.cigarshabanos.eu, and http://www.puros.pt. The FDA determined these websites offer cigarette tobacco and/or roll-your-own tobacco products for sale or distribution to U.S. customers, classifying them as tobacco products under the FD&C Act.

Violations include: 1. **Sales to Minors:** The website http://www.cigars-habanos.com sold Golden Virginia, a cigarette tobacco/roll-your-own tobacco product, to a person under 18, violating 21 C.F.R. § 1140.14(a). This renders the product misbranded under section 903(a)(7)(B) of the FD&C Act. 2. **Flavored Cigarette Tobacco:** The websites offer Mac Baren Cherry Choice and Mac Baren Vanilla Choice, which purport to contain characterizing flavors. This violates section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act, making these products adulterated under section 902(5). If these products do not contain characterizing flavors, their labeling is false or misleading, rendering them misbranded under section 903(a)(1) or 903(a)(7
