D & R Tobacco
When Mark Ryan started his own tobacco company in North Carolina in 1992, he probably didn't expect
to become the standard bearer and innovator for the RYO industry. Daughters and Ryan now offer 12 styles
of Premium rolling tobacco with 34 different custom blends to choose from in 3.5oz cups and 14oz bags.
In addition to carrying the widest selections of cigarette tube brands anywhere, D & R has
also developed several house brand tubes and offers them at competitive prices. Complete starter kits for
those new to RYO/MYO as well as a seemingly endless variety of refill kits, a full line of papers, rollers
and injectors are also available. With outstanding customer service D & R sets the standard for RYO manufacturers, and retailers.
However, the website is a mess, all the product additions since 2004 are scattered about, hard to find or not
yet added. I recommend you spend a bit of time reading over the various tobacco descriptions on site and get
an idea as to which you'd like to try. But since you won't find all the available tubes or tobacco brands that
I have listed as currently available in The RYO Tobacco Brands Master List, call their toll-free number
and ask about the recent product additions when you're ready to place an order. (877) 989-9458

The Gatlinburlier Tobacconist
Founded in 1978 by Dr. Ira T. Lapides in Gatlinburg, TN. after researching the relationship between
health and the chemicals used in the production of cigarettes, they specialize in the sale of pipes,
pipe tobacco, cigars, chewing tobacco and Jester RYO tobacco. Be sure to check-out the "Tobacco Cover up"
section of the site which chronicles Dr. Lapides struggle to initiate a public debate about the
difference between real tobacco and commercial cigarettes with chemical additives. After being
ignored and ridiculed by 'big media' for years, he finally resorted to a hunger strike which he
kept up for 22 days in 1993, only stopping after receiving an offer to air his views on the ABC News
"Day One" program.

YeSmoke
Ok this one is kinda freaky, YeSmoke was previously one of the largest online sellers of duty-free cigarettes,
(roughly 6 million cartons per year) and operated out of Switzerland. Then Phillip Morris filed a 548 Million Dollar
lawsuit against Yesmoke, and somehow took over their web domain yesmoke.com. Now YeSmoke's website is run from Italy,
and they claim their sole mission now is to shout about the evils of the Big Tobacco Companies, convince us all how
smoking is bad for us, list the chemical ingredients, and urge us to quit smoking, etc. Yet at the same time they are
whining about how their innocent attempt to set-up a new cigarette manufacturing plant and distribution system in
Switzerland is being held up by Big Tobacco Companies who are pressuring the Swiss credit card processing company.
Huh? What?
