Lane Blends Repackaged and Otherwise

While fixing the duplicates submitted from the last post, I came across another couple of issues that we need to decide how to fix.

20,000 Review Mark Coming Soon

Tobacco Reviews is soon to pass a HUGE milestone. As of right now, we are 101 reviews away from 20,000 reviews written! That is just over 250 reviews a month since the beginning of the site.
In March 2001 I put the very first version of Tobacco Reviews up on my personal site. Three months later, [...]
