Steve,

	Do you know what has happened to Cope's Escudo pipe tobacco?  It is a
great navy cut blend of virginia and Perique but is no longer available
in the US.  I have been told by tobacconists that it is made but not
exported to the US any longer for legal reasons, that it is no longer
being produced due to poor sales, etc..  I would like to know if it is
being made and still available.  I understand that some European tobacco
products (Silk cut cigarettes,etc) are not exported to the US any more
because of a fear of lawsuits.
	Do you know anything about this or where I could obtain information. 
It is difficult to find tobacco shops in the UK on the web.
