Thanks for the lesson, Ted.

Found Scot Reader's stuff interesting too.

I'm bookmarking this page for reference.

It is a great sign though - was looking at it just yesterday.

Thanks for the info....and, especially the link to the ATC complex history.

The EPDG cigars for many years were manufactured in Florida factory's in Tampa and Key West. The EPDG cards identify Factory #17 in Virginia,
which I think pertained to their cigarette production and was located in the greater Richmond area.
