NASCO closing is almost done and (according to Co.) will be PR'd immediately following NAAG approval. MSA is definitely in the bag.

Thanks to the TTB permit that was granted in March, the Company can (and probably has been) making cigarettes for weeks now, at the Mocksville, NC turnkey facility that was ready to go when they bought it in December. I highly doubt the plant has been sitting idle collecting dust. That assumption is ludicrous.

MSA allows domestic sales without major financial barriers to entry.

Remember this (Oct CEO Interview):

Q: The purchase agreement also contemplates that 22nd Century will enter into a management agreement and a sales agreement at closing with an affiliate of NASCO Products “sales agreement.”
Does that mean existing revenue or a contract with an affiliate?


That means that the 3 NASCO principals will assist in managing the new factory and whatever new business they bring into the factory on the sales front (e.g., contract manufacturing), they will get a percentage of this new business. They have many contacts especially internationally.

Q: The two brands you plan on selling (Red Sun and Magic). Do you have a plan on how to get them into stores?


We already have three national distributors lined up. All the distributors/retailers we speak to are very excited about the products and our “trade partners program,” where we expect to rebate XXII stock based on levels of sales in the trade. Not a very dilutive amount of stock, like 250,000 shares for the first year. Having retailers own a small part of the company and its brands will go a long way.

This leads me to believe that MSA acceptance could lead to quick signing of the national deals "already lined up" and shipment of cigarettes they are likely already producing, in short order.

The NASCO closing will lead to a domino effect of catalysts in a short time period, IMO.
