EU-CEG (<\/span><span class=\"citation-3111\">European Common Entry Gate<\/span><span class=\"citation-3111 citation-end-3111\">) regulations, local health authorities are introducing a registration

per Vitola: An Impossible Equation<\/span><\/h4>\n<p id=\"p-rc_bf44f8bc0cdb7a48-38\" data-path-to-node=\"6\">Revealed last March by the Norwegian Ministry of Health, the fees levied on each product reference (SKU) came as a heavy blow: an initial registration fee of 8,500 Norwegian kroner (approx. \u20ac785), accompanied by an annual maintenance fee of 3,000 kroner (approx. <span

easily be absorbed by cigarette or snus giants\u2014who move millions of packs across a handful of references\u2014they are devastating for the handmade cigar world<\/span>. <span class=\"citation-3107 citation-end-3107\">A single blend is most often offered in several vitolas (Churchill, Robusto, Corona, etc.), yet each size constitutes a separate SKU in the eyes of the

disregard for the specificities of cigars (absence of additives);<br \/>\n\u2013 A lack of correlation between the taxes demanded and the actual costs incurred by health services to process a file;<br
