“I’m honored to work with such a fine family owned and operated company like Tobacco Depot. They have 17 locations in Florida, all within our TV demographics. With this partnership Born To Ride magazine will now be available in all 17 locations. Their knowledge and passion in the cigar industry matches the passion that we have for our motorcycle industry; and when you look at it as a whole we have a strong parallel of freedom and diversity. I’m looking forward to growing our BTR Cigar Club and I’m sure Tobacco Depot will be a major factor in the success of this new venture. I encourage everyone to come out to the very first cigar event Nub Live 2009 at Tobacco Depot’s Home Office on June 6. You will be able to sign up for the BTR Cigar Club, listen to great music, receive some great gifts, and learn more about the fine art of cigars.”

In a shocking testimony yesterday to a Senate Finance Committee round table on how to fund the Obama administration’s $1.2 trillion health care initiative for universal coverage, three of the thirteen academia experts who testified recommended dramatic increases in the federal excise tax on alcohol as part of their plans. While the mainstream press picked up on CSPI’s recommendation of increasing taxes on sugary soft drinks, it was their push for a 50% increase in alcohol taxes (which was the most modest proposal of them all), with beer and wine equalized according to alcohol content, that caught our jaded eye and is making suppliers go berserk.

Studies in recent years have documented a few cases of cancer at a tattoo site.

Increasing numbers of people who have serious medical conditions, such as diabetes, are turning to tattooing to identify themselves on the chance a health emergency leaves them unable to communicate, says Saleh Aldasouqi, a diabetes expert from Cape Girardeau, Mo., who will present a report on the topic Friday in Houston at the annual meeting of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.

“Like it or not, a lot of people are resorting to this way of medical identification,” Aldasouqi says. “It’s not that we (doctors) are promoting it. It’s more, ‘What should we do about it?’ It is happening.”
