22nd Century Group Inc (XXII)

[bigdeal1349]

This morning I talked to a friend of mine who is friends with several members of XXII management, and he basically reiterated what Pete stated in his post from 9/5/14. XXII is currently manufacturing Red Sun and Magic brand cigarettes, which should be showing up on Smoker Friendly shelves very soon. I'm from western New York and we don't have any SF outlets here, but maybe someone who has one nearby can check that out. The Nasco contract with SF is to produce their private label brand, and will commence in January of 2015.
In response to another recent post, it is my understanding that the Mocksville, North Carolina plant can produce somewhere around 7000 cigarettes per minute. Sounds like a lot to me, but I'm not very familiar with cig mfg capacities. Finally, it is also my understanding that the proposed Goodrich Tobacco mfg facility in western New York has been terminated. Good luck to all who believe in XXII. I know I do!
