Bad News! The Gatlin-burlier has been ordered to discontinue shipping tobacco by some federal agency (probably ATF and/or IRS). It has something to do with the fact that they blend their own tobaccos and the feds have decided that this puts them in the category of tobacco manufacturers. They are now being held responsible for around $300,000 of back taxes associated with this. Let's hope and pray this doesn't shut them down. Their tobacco blends are superb and have consistently high ratings on Tobaccoreviews.com. And if you've ever been to the store, you know that Richard and his staff are the best of the best. He never rushes you or puts pressure on you to buy anything and he loves to talk.
