More consolidation in the market place is not necessarily bad, but probably isn't good long term.

harder and harder for the little guys to compete, what with the federal burdens being imposed... but sad.

I've always thought of Alec Bradley as more of a marketing company. Unless I'm wrong they didn't roll their own cigars. While I'm not a fan of most of their sticks, they've had some good ones in the past.

You're correct, they don't make their cigars. The cA article linked above confirms it.
