22nd Century Group Inc (XXII)

I'm assuming XXII can reap higher margins without having to pay a middle-man to distribute the products. A good strategy due to the proximity of XXII's headquarters near Buffalo. NY State has many retail shops to aggressively go after, feet-on-the-ground, while still going home to their own beds at night. They need some help in far-away locales, but NY is Red Sun country and they can manage it themselves. NY consumers may embrace a local business vs buying the Big Tobacco competitors.
