Thanks for that video Jim. Itgives some really important background information on how this STG merger has taken advantage of a generational change in tobacco as a business.

It does make me wonder if it will kill bulk tobacco sales, whether independent producers like C&D will have to turn to automation to increase their profits and remain competetive. Essentially leaving individual bulk purchasers out in the cold in order to reduce labour costs on filling individual orders: measuring, packaging, shipping could all be cut back. Scary.

Here's Per Jensen's take on this and other things. The host speaks Italian, but when Per makes his appearance at the eleven minute mark, they speak English.

Thanks Jim, that gave some good information from an industry blender perspective. I always enjoyed his blends and miss them. Sadly, this is bleak information that, as mentioned, could effect tobacco farmers. The only small hope I have is knowing that at least one could even grow and cure it themselves, and it is possible to learn to case and add toppings. Still, I would bet most pipe smokers underestimate the amount of processing that goes into making the product that we consume. It is something to be thankful for, and I am.

Thank you Sir for keeping us updated and informed with all that is going on. I'm pretty sad that I didn't jump on the case of Edward G. Robinson that Sean ordered for me a few years ago. I ended up buying a half case of LLRR instead. I have enough EGR, M-79 , Heine's Blend and DM Whiskey Cavendish to last me for a while, but I would have loved to have the 12 tubs of EGR. I would have deep cellared 6 and gave the other 6 to my close friends who I turned them on to it. I'm a big fan of Mixture-79 Jim, this is going to hurt man.
