Not unusual.
It happens.

I was in Habana Premium a couple of days ago. I brought along a
tobacco from another blender. I was hoping Russ could direct me to
something similiar. Now this tobacco is advertised, along with the
blender's other tobaccos, as custom blended by their concern. (I am
not going to mention who they are because I don't want to cause ill
will.) Russ sniffed the tobacco, examined it in his hand. He said,
"It smells and looks like Altadis------"
He had some in the basement, so he went to get it. It looked exactly
the same. It smelled exactly the same. I bought a few ounces and- it
tastes exactly the same. Russ was sure the other company is calling
this Altadis blend one of their own custom blends. Sigh.
The funny thing is- if you read both as reviewed on tobaccoreviews.com,
the Altadis gets dismissed. The Altadis, under the blender's name,
gets great reviews, even some four stars.
Go figure,
Owen
