[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 535280, member: 1211"] Proprietors give their own names to industry-widely available tobaccos for various reasons, but primarily, it is a tactic to make the customer feel like they are getting something unique to the store and unavailable anywhere else; locking in sales to those who fancied the blend. It worked a lot better pre-internet, but even back then, if you paid attention, you (relatively) quickly knew better. There were, however, honest shops that just called Lane 1-Q, Lane 1-Q. Lane HGL, Lane HGL. Etc. [/QUOTE]
