Along with them already controlling cigars international, that is 20% of the US Market, doesn't bode well for our hometown stores....Interesting article.

Thomppson has been aa tired company for a lonng time but their mailing list is of great value. They were still very profitable so I can see why they would be an attractive addition for STG.
It also gives STG a foothold in a cigar friendly low tax state. Pa should take note.
