Walt’s cigaret shortage hits town and shifts focus
Walt Workman of Walt's tavern once stocked 148 cigar brands and now faces a nationwide shortage. He traces the causes to New Deal subsidies, labor shifts, and supply chain curbs, noting Hickey Brothers cut him off to stock their own stores. In response he expands pipe and tobacco lines while customers turn to higher priced black market supplies.
