Sablebrush hit it. This was a business decision based on the cost of production, not the government mandating that they shut down because they produce tobacco products.
However, the cost of labor is directly effected by government regulation, law and policy. Direct wages are just part of the equation. When you run a business in a welfare state, the entire population is your employee.

Well, I just mortgaged my house and bought 5 pouches. Never tried it so I'll see how it goes when I get it.

Hmmm! Been slowly accumulating a stash of Condor plugs against this day (buy 2, smoke 1, stash1), but at the price they are, it's been a very slow process..........until today, that is. Bought 10 to add to the 3 I already had sitting at home ready to jar. Nice lady in the shop didn't bat an eye lash at my request, and when she handed 'em over smiled broadly and hoped that I enjoyed them (which was nice).
Walking down the road, holding my valuable stash, I nearly had heart failure as the realisation of what I had just done started to set in, and more importantly how much it cost me.
Well, given there's a year or 2 yet before, who knows what, I will just slowly accumulate more and jar them up. Aged Condor is exquisite, so when I'm good and old, this stuff should just be hitting its prime.
Well, it's a sad, but inevitable day. All things come to an end - we're not there yet, but, soon, maybe, the Mighty Condor will go the way of some of the past greats. But then, and only then will it become truly legendary and we can all bask in the knowledge that we smoked a legend.
If it does fade into history with the closing of the factory, I hope they leave it to rest in peace and do not attempt a resurrection - it just seems to diminish once great blends when pale imitations, and inferior renditions are created, ostensibly to cash in on the name, the fame, the myth,the legend, the modern smokers desire to see what the fuss was about.
Nuff said. I'm off to marvel at my little miracles ageing in jars, and calculate how many more I need to get to see me into the grave..........all things pass.

Yes, it's a business decision but it was put into motion by government regulation, which is how government everywhere works when it's been unsuccessful using other more direct means. This is how carbon dioxide became a dangerous pollutant, not because it is, but because of the power it gives a minority to rule the majority.
Anyway, in a related story affecting the arts: State Opera cancels Carmen because ‘it promotes smoking’

You can't, If you want some, you will have to order from overseas, such as Mr Snuff, or rely on the graciousness of a fellow pipe smoker.
Does anyone know what other tobaccos are also produced at this facility? Is this the same factory that also produces Warrior, Revor and Erinmore Plugs? Mick Mc Quaid?
As far as I know Gwaith Hoggarth produce Revor, while Mick Mc Quaid,Warrior and Erinmore are made in Denmark.
