Default Re: Marsh Wheeling Deluxe Stogies

The factory is one of the more interesting old buildings in downtown Wheeling. (You can glimpse it as you drive thru town on I-70.There are walkways several stories up that connect the building to what once must have been company housing. I think you can sign up to tour it during one of the town's annual historical festivals. Otherwise though they don't seem to be interested in even chatting with visitors who might wander in.

I got a walkthrough once while the bosses were at lunch...but don't tell anybody. Pretty neat place, at the time some of the rolling tables (for handmades of the distant past) and rolling machines (more recently in use but not lately) were still there.

All they were doing with the building then--about eight years ago--was storage for some of the machine made sticks the parent company produces elsewhere. Oh, and giving a very grumpy boss man a nice old office.
