Off topic but who cares
An Arab journalist did a survey of Tobacco farmers in MALAWI(Africa)
He revealed that a farmer and his 5-11 year old children workers received
.....................3 cents (American) for 1 KILOGRAM stemless leaf tobacco
In a UK shop 1 kg retails at £ 320 Sterling
Forget the bankers,the lawyers,the estate agentS with their PUNY RIP OFFS
.........3 CENTS (2 PENCE STERLING) TO £320 (THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY POUNDS) Now thats what I call a real rip off!
Even worse, £240 of the £320 goes to incite hatred of those who pay it.

I got one last year for free, from the tobacconist in Majorca where we buy 6 months supply for both of us. They can't give us enough in freebies, so as we don't drink spirits we more or less get to choose what we want from the shop! I use mine for when I am working, it is great in my work bag, doesn't get crushed and doesn't get soggy in the wet! It will either hold a pack or the cigs themselves.
