First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the kind responses. I was on on the fence about making such a suggestion. Mostly cause it makes me sound like I'm trying to tell two master blenders how to create tobacco, and I don't know the first thing about how to blend, or press flakes and plugs, or to twist ropes. However, credit is due to a forum member. Fnord. Who has met both Mr Pease and Oullette and mentioned how approachable and how the people in the profession want our feedback. I just so happened needed the nudge of encouragement from him. So Thanks To Fnord!
Secondly. Thank you to Russ for the quick feedback as you are probably busy most of the time. I promise I will let you and the leaf masters take it from here!
