An open letter to Mr. Leonard Wortzel of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, Lane Limited:
Dear Mr. Wortzel:
I want to publicly thank you for listening to those of us who were clamoring for the return to the market of the former Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed pipe-tobacco. I understand that it will now be called Lane Limited Ready-Rubbed. As Mr. Shakespeare once wrote, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet...," and so may it be with this new/old blend!
I was originally introduced to ERR by the late sporting author Gene Hill, who for 20-some-odd-years wrote the "Hill Country" column for "Field & Stream" magazine. Mr. Hill, a life-long pipe-smoker, loved ERR and recommended it to me, as he thought that I would love it as well. He was correct! Accordingly, you can imagine my despair when it was discontinued. Your action brings back to life for me a tried and true old friend, and I do appreciate it.
Best Regards,
HunterTRW
