J. they have a factory ready to turn out cigaret paper. They even have the word of Jean de Montgolfier, leading cigaret paper manufacturer of France, that their product is superior to his. And no light thing is praise from a de Montgolfier. More than 700 years ago a de Montgolfier went crusading, was captured and taught the art of papermaking by the Saracens. Ever since his return...
