As I said in a previous post, a rose by any other name... They could call it "Worthmore" for all I care, so long as the formula remains unchanged. The question is, I wonder who owns the rights to that?

I will make a Wild-Assed Assumption that however Larus made ERR, it will never be repeated. The leaf is different, and I can guarandamntee you that the process would not be the same. And whatever else that they added...employee spit, rat hair, whatever...probably isn't known, is carcinogenic or has become unobtainium.
I just re-listened to Kevin's interview (Ref. Episode 105 of The Pipes Magazine Radio Show) of Mr. Wortzel. He stated that the use of the Edgeworth brand name could be problematic because of questions pertaining to copyright; however, "...that's not to say that I can't produce a blend of very similar characteristics." It seems that all that he might need to that end is impetus from enough pipe-smokers to make it economically justifiable.
I can see it now, Wedgeworth Weaddy-Wubbed manufwactured by Warner & Bwother Company, Inc. - Howwywood, Cawifornia!
"Do you think it would have more class appeal if I put him in a top hat?"
Mr. Fudd has always appealed to the highbrow crowd, as you may recall that he sang Wagner arias in "What's Opera, Doc?" Accordingly, the image below might be more appropriate:

I'll second Cake and Dottle's sentiment here. I love a good burley blend, and there was a time when ERR was one of the best OTCs out there. But the latest incarnation of it was nothing to get excited about. I greatly preferred other burley blends, including both PA and CH, so it's demise did not leave a hole in my rotation.
That being said, has anyone else here tried C&Ds Cube Cut Burley? It's the closest thing I have discovered to the older versions of ERR, even if it is classed as a blending tobacco. It's absolutely delicious, and if you want it to be a spot on copy (in flavor, not appearance) I would mix it 4-1 with, say, Carter Hall or another sweetened burley.

Per the thread above,if you are interested in seeing the blend formerly known as Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed returned to the United States market (although most probably under a different name), then please contact Mr. Lenonard Wortzel and let him know! His contact information is as follows:
