Manufacturing Smoke
I woke up this morning at 3:30 and turned on the tele. I caught a story about a cigarette bar that opened up in Chicago. Given that Chicago has outlawed smoking in its bars, this does seem quite odd. However, since they are registered at a cigarette manufacturer, anyone can smoke there. What they do is combine up to nine different types of tobacco and make cigarettes on the spot. Obviously they come at a hefty price ($9.00/pack), but freedom to smoke is getting quite expensive these days.
I thought it was an interesting and a creative business approach. I hope the Triangle gets one of these. It would be interesting if they could do the same thing with cigars. With RJR backing it though, I am not sure how long it will take before it becomes an enemy of the state.
