It seems to me when I think of the drought that has gripped the State of California and many other parts of our Nation, that we're looking down the barrel of an environmental shotgun, and that effects of Climate Change are rapidly changing the earth's agricultural 'footprint'.
Add to that the seemingly constant political turmoil in tobacco growing countries and imagine what would be available to the pipe smoker should these conditions prevent growers from bringing crops to market.
A lot of us are in the process of acquiring both varieties and quantities of leaf for obvious reasons.
It's probably moot, but, which would you think is a greater incentive to 'hoard'?
