The thing that made me think of this idea was a movie starring Yul Brenner from the 1960s or 1970s. I don't remember the title, but the thing that drew him to join with the community in the movie against their violent neighbors was the supply of cigars that the leader of the community had stashed away. Anyone know the movie?
This also tells you that a lot of items that were ordinary before the collapse might become more outrageously valuable than one might think.
