Got this email from Value Tobacco, today.
To all our valued customers,
@
We are now carrying Golden Harvest Pipe Tobacco. We have a low price of
$17.75 per 12 oz bag and right now it is on sale, 10% off, available for
$15.98. Flavors come in Robust (full flavor), Mild (light), Mint (menthol)
and Natural.

We have successfully completed our move to Uniontown, PA and thank you all
for your patience during our move.

Update on P.A.C.T. ACT. As you may or may not know, there is a bill
floating in the congress to prevent mailing tobacco products through the
mail. It has already passed the House and is in the Senate. Obama has said
he will sign it. When this happens, we will be extremely busy. I want
everybody to get @all the @tobacco they want, but please understand; when
the law comes into effect we cannot ship tobacco, so buy early. If you plan
on buying a couple of days before the law comes into effect, your order may
not get filled. We are facing two problems, one being that when the law
comes into effect, we will try to run out of stock, and on that day we want
nothing in stock. The other problem is when the law goes into effect, it is
permanent. If we are behind 200, 300, 500 orders then they simply cannot be
mailed, because that is the law.
@
Update on pipe tobacco. The government is well aware of this loophole and
will be addressing this in the near future. We don’t know if this will
happen before or after PACT Act is in place. Hopefully after, but it is
just not certain. So once again, this is another reason to bulk up on your
tobacco stock.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @
We will be emailing you all when the bill passes the Senate and when the
President signs it, and when we know the actual date the law comes into
effect.

On a personal note, I have really enjoyed starting and running Value
Tobacco. I have talked to so many customers and made many friends. I will
always cherish the memories from this whole experience. I’ll remember how
scary it was when I first started, the gratification when the business
started to work and the eventual heartache when the business is done. I
will hold no animosity and will not be bitter toward my country, but I am
concerned. How can we keep taking rights away from each other until we have
none ourselves?
So, smoke ‘em if you’ve got them, order it while you can. Â As states move inexorably toward legalization of “medicinal marijuana” (you can even get a degree in pot cultivation), Congress and the cigarette smoking President shut down tobacco.

You can buy tobacco seeds and save them from the plants you grow for the next year. It grows like a weed and is quite a beautiful plant with really cool flowers. Easy enough to dry and process. And if it all come apart at the seams, tobacco is a great barter good.
I wonder if the government is going to end all of the subsidies to tobacco farmers?

That’s funny, Tom, as I was just visiting tobacco growing websites.
Larry Niven often liked to drop in his “near future” novels that marijuana is legal and openly smoked, but that tobacco is contraband [which is noted right before main characters light up a hand-rolled tobacco cigarette, and only half the time is sex involved.]
I always chalked that up to Niven being a Californian, but I guess he could see which way the smoke was blowing.
We are in the process of building a site for a colorado “provider”
also – fuck the feds. just fuck them – they dont give a shit about the private sector – all they care about is stimulus for their own fucking wallets – they create nothing. they benefit from everything. not one bureaucrat knows what it is like to actually create jobs, work an honest day, or lose their savings and jobs if they cannot compete.
Obama has never managed anything in his life. A career fucking blood-sucker. The world is his oyster!

I can’t imagine the size of the brick Ben Franklin would shit were he alive to see this law passed. This march toward serfdom will have consequences. It’s stunning to think that the pols and assorted techno-crats can’t see this.
I didn’t know this place existed, and I’m actually from Uniontown! The town has exploded over the past few years with every imaginable business you can think of landing around the Uniontown Mall.
i must admit, if you look at this country now as compared to just 50 years ago… it’s going downhill… and fast. Removing rights left and right, and generating laws to make it so much harder for the little guy to succeed. Shame.
