Regulations?

[lgoldberg]

When I go to Pipes & Cigars site and look at the MATCH Presbyterian page, they have a blurb like this at the bottom:

"Due to recent regulations, this blend is now only available as a Pre-Built Blend Kit for you to become a master blender right in your own home. Each kit, once blended, will produce 16oz of MATCH Presbyterian."

What are the "recent regulations" they are talking about that would prevent them selling everything mixed?

I think it’s a misguided attempt to avoid the deeming regulations that seemed to be pretty much ignored and I think have been relaxed.

Can you tell me what "the deeming regulations" are?
