'Now for the best part. You cannot put a product out without a thorough testing and sampling. You have to make sure that what you're selling is only the best.

'I've put together three blends on the table there. One that is all freshly-picked pipe-weed, one that is all dried pipe-weed, and one that is a half-and-half blend.

'Take this pipe and sample the blends. If you think they are good, then I will agree that they should be sold at the market.'
