Are the small handroll shops doomed?

[Boudie]

During my visit to Ybor I was saddened by the feeling that most of the small rolling shops will not be able to absorb the additional costs of impending FDA registration and the changing market. Lower sales due to the dominance of the large manufacturers and rising costs of labor and general business coupled with the FDA legislation will be too much for many of the small guys.

Visiting Ybor was an enlightening step into the past, I'll regret losing this part of our history.

So enjoy it while you can, if you wait to long you may never get the chance.

Email your reps about this. Get some guys to work together on the best wording and we should all Email AND fax repeatedly till this is done away with. The small independent guys need to be mentioned as well.
