Looks like Walmart was world's third largest employer (behind the U.S and China militaries).

BTW, anyone here smoke cigars made only from U.S tobacco here in the U.S. only? How about simply limiting their cigar purchases solely to their local B&M? Didn't think so...

IMHO you're mixing apples and oranges. Walmart sells EVERYTHING (including their souls if they could put a price tag on them).
Cigars are just cigars. They are wonderful but they are but a smoke...

I am addressing some of the hypocrisy of those who scream that buying foreign goods is unacceptable. I don't doubt any of your comment about China.

Robert, you have to look at it this way, this "hypocrisy" is due to a need for everyday necessities such as toothpaste, textiles, tools etc. - industries that have been driven overseas since Reagan when he oversaw the brick by brick transfer of complete factories to China without a hair out of place. The purchase of "foreign" cigars is but a minor market niche such as Italian olive oil, Greek feta, or Spanish wine that was borne out of a need for a superior product consumed on occasion.

If you were to draw the above as a barometer for hypocrisy, we would ALL fail & we would be the dirtier & nakeder for it. lol

Just my 2 cents.
