That is weird. Do you think there’s some movement afoot to have… I don’t know… micro-tobacco? Like micro-beer? You have to figure that, if the big guys want this kind of regulation, they want to regulate someone else out of competition, don’t you?

Nat Sherman’s (“Tobacconist to The World”) is micro-tobacco if ever I’ve seen it. And they can no longer sell through mail-order to 19 states. So there’s that.
