Chasingembers. It is for real. I would personally never admit to using the service but I am reliably informed the results are as expected. As an after thought who is Hub McCann? Would someone like to enlighten me on that one as it flew straight over my head!

Hub McCann is a character from the movie Second Hand Lions. Good movie; always liked his quote "We're old, dammit! Leave us alone!" He was a specialist at hand to hand combat and was full of life's wisdom.

Also had to look up this quote: "I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and TANKS! I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN! And loved only one woman, with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!"

The penny just dropped. That was a rather good film that also featured Michael Caine as well. Thank you for filling in my blank spot!

Sorry to leave that one hanging, fellas. I got called away from my desk to do some actual airplane work for a change. Prairiedruid, thanks for picking up the slack on that one!

Thanks for responding hawky454. I know plenty of Chinese medicines that contain strange ingredients, it isn't ridiculous to think it could've been used. I am sorry to have misinterpreted your post.
Just for fun here is an example of a deer tongue contributing to tobacco:

And here is an Authoritative source for Seaweed being added to tobacco, even if not as a blend enhancement:
