There was a 1776 tobacco company in Pa some years back. I wonder if they closed down and he bought the name and blend recipies.
as for house blends Jack did own a shop in Sterling Illinois and the town wanted to change the downtown area or image and his pipe and tobacco shop was forced to close along with some other bussiness.
