Fellow blogger Matt Mullen brought the African tobacco tourning tales of Taco Tuinstra to my attention. “He is on a tour of tobacco farms and leaf dealers in southern Africa right now and has set up a blog to chronicle his travels. Pretty cool that technology today allows you to do some of this stuff, even from places that remote.”

Taco seems to be doing okay although he just got started yesterday and found out how pricey food at Heathrow Airport can be.

After flying all day yesterday, I spent the night at the Heathrow Hilton in London, and now I am having $35 scrambled eggs with orange juice. The Britons must all be millionaires (or not eat out often). They have to, with these prices, because otherwise they’d all be at poverty level.

Ain’t it the truth. It should be interesting following this trip via blog. Taco and Matt write for Tobacco Reporter.
