Sorry to hear about your disappointment - if RJ Reynolds does a tour be sure to let me know so I can write about it. I would love to find another tobacco company willing to let me take a peek…

When I googled 'phillip morris tours', your blog came up. Maybe RJ Reynolds will be willing to satisfy my curiosity... Better luck next time. Daphne Jordan,

I was blown away with how much "cool, crisp, and refreshing" they had worked into the tour. It was pretty amusing actually. You could tell that a lot of people were just there for the free beer at the end of the tour. Still, it was fascinating to see the giant brewing vats and super-fast conveyer belts. If you love to see stuff being manufactured (my wife and I try to include a few factory tours in with every vaction), then I recommend a book called "Watch in Made in the USA". It lists a bunch of places that give tours for each state. It's rather incomplete, but there are still a lot of entries. Fun stuff.
