Cheap Tobacco
Posted by Captain U-96 aka Mike on Tuesday, 15-Aug-2006

Cheap Tobacco outlet stores here in Northern Ohio has started carrying a House Blend called "Cheap Tobacco". Comes packaged in 6 Oz. and 1 Lb. pouches in Full Flavor, Light and menthol. I bought a 6 Oz. FF! The tobacco has a light scent, and looks fairly clean. I can't see any shake in my sample, and it's a dark colored blend. It injects easily, and causes a distinct reaction on the back of the throat from the very first draw. Compared to Midnight Special, I would consider it slightly harsh, but still a good buy at $6 bucks a pouch.
    I'm very curious about something, and I hope someone can help me out!
The label is plain, with only the [ TP-NC-644 ] mark to give any hint of the origin of the tobacco. Does anyone anything about this mark, and what it means? Thanks, Mike

When looking for the manufacturer of a brand I do a '[brand] MSA' search. The Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) is a tax on manufacturers and States keep lists of (non-)participating manufacturers and their brands.

Just came across this post, TP-NC is Tax paid North Carolina, not sure about the numbers.

"tp nc" means tobacco products manufacturer, registered (factory located) in north carolina. (versus "ti" which stands for tobacco importer).

Mark, thanks for the clarification. Does it denote a non MSA manufacturer? Some tobacco brands are marked with state tag or stamped into can, some are marked MSA signatory.
