I know of at least one company that was founded to provide cigar enthusiasts a way to get access to tobacco to roll their own cigars at home, because the industry usually requires you to purchase the product by the bale. Because of the fragility of wrapper tobacco, they would place these in humidified sealed pouches.
They soon learned that there was a large market for this and now they make 99% of their revenue selling wrappers in convenience stores. The cigar tobacco shop is still there, because it was mostly a labor of love instead of a true business venture.
So what used to be paper wrappers is now replaced with a more premium product, but that premium product happens to be black tobacco which is much harsher than the cigarette tobacco people inhale regularly.
