Ruling: Cigar in bunker

[iacas]

This is a very good rules question. My only question to everyone who has answered is, a bunker is a hazard just like a creek or any water hazard for that matter. If memory serves me correctly you cannot remove anything from a hazard (sticks, leaves) I also know that you used to not be able to remove rocks from a bunker. So is it in the rules that you can legally remove an obstruction from a hazard in this case being the bunker?

Read the rules. Obstructions aren't the same thing as loose impediments. Loose impediments cannot be removed in a bunker; obstructions can.

Stones in bunkers, btw, can be removed if the committee decides to enact that local rule. But generally that rule's not in place.
