I wonder how bad of a hit Ball would take if pipe tobacco was legislated out of existence. I’m pretty sure we were adding to the shortage during Covid. Lots of board people buying, hoarding and smoking more. Of course people were probably canning more too. But I do wonder how much the forums contribute to their bottom line.

It's easier than a replacement Giselle.

But not much easier.

Now I’m scratching my head confused
