Add Carl Junction to the list of cities joining the Tobacco 21 movement, as this week the Board of Aldermen voted to raise the minimum age to purchase tobacco and vaping products to 21-years-old.

The city has not yet posted the ordinance online. Results of the vote were posted by JoplinGlobe.com.

Carl Junction is home to just under 8,000 residents and is located 150 miles of Kansas City.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
