    Edward G Robinson .. What Do I Do Now?

    I'm unaware of any anti-pipe smoking crusade . STG simply swooped in & shut down Sutliff .....because they could......... I'm sorry if this is pedantic , but my memory comes & goes . Why was Mac Baren/Sutliff even up for sale ? Were they un-profitable ?

    Whopper Still Sucks.

    NE side , north of Coe college . Hardee's came to CR around '72-75 . They had my all time favorite burger , but no more: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=hardee%27s+big+twin&mid=F24E2071E8B1A762F750F24E2071E8B1A762F750&FORM=VIRE

    Whopper Still Sucks.

    I don't know if this was local to Cedar Rapids or if it was corporate , but ours were Sandy's until 50 years ago . Before that I believe they were Henry's .

    I guess I didn't know it was controversial . Doesn't make any difference to me though .

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    I understand where you're coming from , and agree . Replacing Sutliff wouldn't be simple or easy . I also admit I don't at all fully grasp the tobacco industry as a whole . I'm just not convinced this story is over .

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    1. I never said it could start in someone's basement . It would take a person or outfit with a lot of money ' There are a lot of slightly eccentric really wealthy pipe smokers . 2. You apparently didn't get Kevin's memo : " Sarcastic, rhetorical, or disrespectful responses"
