This whole situation with the various tobacco blends reminds me very much of how electric guitars are branded (and priced) differently, but are often made in the same factories, by the same crafters, with the same materials, to the same standards. It's hard to avoid "shopping with ones eyes" (ie. prejudices), and paying significantly more for nearly identical products. That's why I'm very grateful to have forums like this to help spread our experience and knowledge around. It's a more ethically supportable use of the communication medium than say,"bully messed with the wrong nerd knock out videos".
