I am Michelle Waughtel, the only child of Robert Waughtel and I would like to contribute to information you have about my father.  The article above is extremely well-written and entirely accurate - and I thank whomever contributed it.  Robert Waughtel's family had been in the tobacco business for several generations...his father, Preston Waughtel, owned several cigar factories in York County, PA, where Robert learned to hand-roll cigars and developed a life-long interest in tobacco.  Throughout my childhood and youth, my father operated "pipe shops" in Lebanon, Lancaster and Harrisburg.  People were willing to drive great distances to purchases his unique, hand-blended tobaccos.  Some of his original blends are still available for sale at the Wingenroth Pipe Shop in Lebanon, now two owners beyond the time when my father owned the business.  Mel, the current owner, is a fascinating and knowledgeable man and will gladly share information with you about the tobacco blends and the history of the business.
