Damn, you're good, Orwell! One question, tho...a "400 year old company"? An older than 400-year-old-product (tobacco has been found in 6000 year old tombs), but I don't think PM has been around that long.

Max, you're right, it's not 400 years old. It started in the 1850's (doh!). 6,000 years? Wow! I didn't know that!

Madame, I would prefer not to have to go to a special place to buy my smokes, either, but if it meant that they stopped taxing the hell out of them, well it'd be a small price to pay. It'd only be temporary anyway - until the nutters lost interest in smokers and went after...oh, I don't know....McDonalds ;)

SheLion, hit the nail on the head!
