Picking up where I left off two months ago, the three cheap consumables with Land Value Tax connexions are:
1. The Henry George 5 cent cigar (had his face on the packet) ;
2. "Big President" Sun Yat Sen cigarettes sold in packs of 16 in China now;
3. Tsingtao lager from former German land tax enclave on Chinese coast.

Well done. I believe Nim made that argument.
Tirpitz was the land-taxing admiral in Tsingtao where Brit and German investors set up the brewery.The German Navy ran the enclave and laid down the land-tax law.Oddly,British colonial officials in Hong Kong were more keen on land nationalisation.Funny old place, History.
DBC, yup, I'd been meaning to do the admirals short list for a while, so this was the golden oppo to link it in to the previous one.
The Henry George 5 cent cigar (had his face on the packet)
That's LVT, is it?
JH, the cigar isn't, but Henry George is.
