This is a wonderful piece of weekend reading with a cigar and a drink. 

Superb photos and riveting history

Thanks Boss -

very happy to read it and reminds me of my trip to Tampa and Ybor City back in the day.

The largest tobacco leaf warehouse I've seen and the first time I saw Candela leaves.

The post is in German but the pictures tell the story :
