[QUOTE="Lesepfeife, post: 268632, member: 2336"] Interesting narrative, especially in light of the reference I found (Bull Durham being the first granulated tobacco) when looking for history of tobacco prizerys. I did visit the building at Appomattox Courthouse that was supposedly a prizery (where cured tobacco leaves were packed into barrels and compressed for shipping). I saw little evidence of that process and the attribution is pretty sketchy so it may not have been used for that. Regardless I will be working there probably starting in March. Interesting that informal pressing of tobacco resulted in a whole new industry and purpose-built buildings. [/QUOTE]
