FDA Regs Affecting Pipe Tobacco

[Emperor Zurg]

Well I don't know about you people but I saw this coming a few years back. I've stockpiled enough pipe tobacco to supply half a dozen 40 year old, bowl-a-day pipe smokers with a decent variety of tobaccos for the rest of their lives... or to supply Jim Inks for a month...

If this only affects '07 and newer blends, I'm assuming my favorite blenders, Gawith Hoggarth and Samuel Gawith will be largely unaffected for the time being. That leaves me time, $$$ permitting, to stockpile even MOAR rope, twist and flake The thing that worries me is, if the '07 and newer bakkies are taken off the market, that will shift demand by default to these older, grandfathered blends - which will cause the price to skyrocket; just what the FDA wants.
