I used to hate record collectors. People who bought rare albums not out of love but as investments. Until I found out that most of the obscure music I like wouldn't make any money if only people who wanted to listen to albums bought them. Then I realized they're part of the market eco system that allows me to enjoy the things I enjoy. I bet people with deep cellars that are never going to be smoked because no one is going to live for 300 years are a significant part of why we can afford to buy tins we're going to smoke. Kind of like how alcoholics help the alcohol industry stay profitable.


The thing I hate about bourbon and scotch pricing is one month you get a bottle or 2 for $40-$70+ and a month later they want $1200-$2500 for it. Then the distillery purposely makes less barrels so the price will hold. I can't blame someone for wanting to make a buck, but now insulin is $700 a vile so sometimes they're just plain greedy.

Small batch blends are the root of Americans and Americana... whether it's brewing, tobacco, invention or otherwise. Give the small guy and your local guy/tobacconist your best.
