Spring is just blowing into the Triangle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bringing strawberries, mushrooms and the first Sugar Snack carrots and small white turnips. “We’re raising things I never would have dreamed of,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” said Michael Brinkley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a farmer whose family farm in nearby Creedmoor produced up to 60 acres of tobacco until about five years ago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when the Brinkleys shifted entirely to produce.
There are still plenty of good places for a barbecue plate, excellent French bistros like Vin Rouge and Rue Cler, and some white-tablecloth dining rooms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], both traditional and modern.
But the most intriguing cooks here have a few things in common: an understanding of how to give a menu a sense of place; a true love of pork and greens in all their forms; and a lack of interest in linens and glassware. Watts Grocery, for example, looks like an upscale sports bar, but it tastes like a Southern-artisanal Union Square Cafe.
“In the old days, people would have to get out of here to really learn about food,” said Matt Neal, the owner of Neal’s Deli in Carrboro, near Chapel Hill,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where he grew up.
These days, a chef here is made by learning all the ways to cook cornmeal and butcher hogs, not by taking a Grand Tour of Europe followed by hotel school in Switzerland.
Best practices for RYO and make-your-own (MYO) tobacco were also noted at the event. “Those retailers that have dedicated space to MYO and embraced the category through promoting have been very successful. MYO should be considered when selling OTP departments as consumer demand continues to grow,” said Mark Loposfsky, a representative with Republic Tobacco.
And on the topic of flavored cigars, roundtable attendees reported seeing some shifts — perhaps the largest of which is a more streamlined flavor assortment, thanks to manufacturers wanting to keep their flavored category out of FDA attack and more clearly gear products to an adult-only crowd.
Additional cigar category shifts discussed include:
– Cigar stick volume “is up strong in the last couple of months, away from packs and towards singles,” said Teller;
– “The bloom is off the rose” for large cigars, according to Chappell;
– Domestic cigars/cigarillos are in a growth mode; and,
– Many flavored cigarette smokers made the switch to flavored/filtered cigars.
But despite these trends, the group agreed it’s not uncommon for shifts to move 180 degrees from one year to the next.
“Fun” and “sexy” status symbols they may well be, but according to the US National Cancer Institute, regularly smoking cigars poses serious health risks, including cancer of the mouth, esophagus and throat. Experts say lung disease is lower among cigar smokers than among cigarette users, because cigar smokers typically don’t inhale the smoke but rather “taste” it in their mouths. But they warn that cigar smoking can cause mouth and throat cancer.
As in the case of cigarette smoking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], regular cigar users can become addicted to nicotine.
