[QUOTE="JimInks, post: 414041, member: 2673"] I understand. I don't doubt that what she said is true, but you've done a lot of speculation, and my point is that you don't have enough information to accurately make some of the assumptions that you've made. As a professional biographer, I have learned not to take just one source, especially from some one who wasn't around or alive at the time of the subject at hand (in this case, the origin of the EGR blend) as a definitive answer to a question. It's not best evidence, though at this late date, it may possibly be the only evidence, unless there's somebody still alive who was there at the time to talk to. But there's nothing wrong in having the discussion. Anyway, I think we've gone as far as we can with this for now, so let's talk about the tobacco, which I like and am glad to see it sell. I have a personal interest in it since I worked so hard to get the word out to save EGR from being discontinued, and to get Sutliff to sell it in 1.5 ounce tins so more people (like me) would be willing to try it. Companies don't often listen to outsiders or customers, but Sutliff did, and we all benefit from it. It stays around, I get to smoke it every day, others who like it know it'll stay on the market so they can smoke it, too. And, I like the idea of seeing Edward G. Robinson's name live on in places where it might not have before. I know there are a number of people who didn't know who he was until this campaign started, and I take some joy in changing that a little. :D [/QUOTE]
