So much so that Baron Wulfbrand Lurkr makes his home here.

A company created to satisfy the craving Union and Confederate soldiers
developed for flue-cured tobacco during the encampment at Bennett's Place to
sign the papers putting an end to the ACM.  Eventually became part of American
Tobacco, but anti-trust laws split it up again and what's left is known as
Liggett & Myers.  Aaah! the smell of tobacco processing!  It beats the paper
factories near my hometown in Florida.
