Contacts Greetings and welcome, friends and enthusiasts alike, to my personal corner of the web – an open invitation to the ever-evolving world of tobacco, where history, craftsmanship, and modern innovations meet. Allow me to introduce myself, I’m George Thompson, your resident tobacco expert and enthusiast. Over the past two decades, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the most esteemed names in the industry, including Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco, experiencing firsthand the myriad facets of the tobacco world. I’ve trod through flourishing tobacco fields, delved into the intricacies of manufacturing, and played a significant role in curating top-quality blends enjoyed by millions globally. Among my cherished accomplishments, I am particularly proud of having developed an award-winning tobacco blend that garnered international acclaim at the World Tobacco Expo in 2019. Also, I received the Golden Leaf Award for my contributions to sustainable tobacco farming in 2021, an honor that underscores my commitment to environmentally-friendly practices within the industry. My work and travels have taken me around the globe, but these days, you can find me enjoying a quiet, peaceful life in the picturesque landscapes of New Zealand. This beautiful country, with its pristine lakes and towering mountains, has been my home for the past five years. Beyond my work, I am an ardent jazz music aficionado and an amateur guitarist. On weekends, you’ll often find me at local jazz bars or tuning my six-string at home. I also have a deep fascination for vintage cars, and I’m currently restoring a classic Ford Mustang, a delightful and challenging project that has given me numerous opportunities to learn and grow. I firmly believe in keeping my lines of communication open and inviting conversations from all over the world. So, whether you’re an enthusiast, curious beginner, or seasoned expert, I’d love to connect and share our mutual passion for this intriguing plant and its various uses.
