Dear Ms. Love:
On November 4,2015 the Health Department conducted a Retail Tobacco check of your retail store.
Health Inspector Philip Renaud found 2 packages of multipack Garcia Vega Red Game cigars,and 4 packs
of Garcia Vega priced at$4.39 for sale to customers.The flavored tobacco was removed from shelf, and
the cigar pricing was changed to$5.00 at the time of inspection.
You are in violation ofthe Board of Health Tobacco Control Regulation Section F and G that prohibits
the sale of flavored tobacco, and prohibits the sale of Multipack cigars or cigarillos under$5.00.You are �
hereby ordered to pay a�ne of$100.00(First Offense)as required by the Board of Health Tobacco
Control Regulation,Section F( Multipack Garcia Vega Cigarillos priced under$5.00) and Section G (Sale
of flavored tobacco products prohibited), prior to the Board of Health Meeting of November 16,2015.
You or a representative must appear at a Board of Health hearing scheduled for Monday, November
16,2015 at 6:OOp.m.,at Yarmouth Town Hall Hearing Room.At the hearing you will need to explain to
the board the steps you are taking to prevent flavored tobacco products to be sold from happening in
the future,and regulating cigar pricing.
In July 2014 you were informed by a letter and visit by a Health Department personnel of the new Board
