The Cotswolds Illicit Tobacco Cultivation In The 17th Century
By Will Simpson & Jim McNeill

Four centuries ago a group of farmers from the West of England decided to see if
they could make a living for themselves by growing tobacco.
This put them at odds with the English state and its imperial ambition to build a
mercantile economy driven by indentured and slave labour.
This is their story of resistance.

Fair-trade home-grown tobacco? Put that in yer pipe and smoke it!
