Lately I've seen videos of Cornell and Dheil's production, a visit with the owner of Milan Tobaccos, a clip showing the making of Semois, and one of the Mac Baren factory. Quite a variety of production facility.
Consolidation of resources by tobacco processors (Scandinavian Tobacco?) seems to result in having several brands produced by one blender.
The names of companies, and blends become the consumer touchstone. Which name do you 'respond' to more favorably?
Sutliff? Mac Baren?
I'd be interested to know if P&C's blends are produced by Sutliff/Mac Baren.
