Uhle‘s only offers 1.5/7/14 oz quantities, at least for out of state purchases
What's the Lowdown on Uhle's?

I ordered 3 big bags of Uhle's. The 14 oz bags.
My Perfection Plug order went great! Love the blend! Uhle’s is a winner!
Thought someone knew off of the top of their head. Also didn't want Uhle's to have to answer an unimportant email; I try not to send emails to retailers if I don't need to as I’m sure they get plenty of emails (and calls) as it is.
From the reading I’ve read in the past, their Burley is suppose to be some of the best, so I had to finally order some.
Just arrived today, I’ll keep you posted!

Huh - you didn't get Blend 300. I guess you're just teasing yourself? Is it the thrill of anticipation?From the reading I’ve read in the past, their Burley is suppose to be some of the best, so I had to finally order some.

I’m guessing it’s reduced weight to hit a price point for the shops that sold their tobacco. At one time Uhles sold their tobacco in drug stores and book shops in the Midwest. I don’t know if they are still in the wholesale tobacco business.
I first came across Uhle's in big countertop jars at a drug store in the Upper Penninsula, 15 years ago.
I don't think that's happening anymore. It's a pity.
I had no idea they were that big. I wonder if this means that they source their leaf independently from Sutliff or Lane etc.
Good Question! It’s been years since I was in their basement tobacco blending room but I all I ever saw were medium size boxes of cut blending tobacco. I think most of the large wholesale accounts are long gone. They might have a few mom and pop accounts but I’m really not sure of anything. I think Jeff the owner was on PipesMagazine Radio years ago. Might have to listen to that episode again.
I love Uhles. I need to try more of their blends but I have a love affair with Blend 300 and Perfection Plug Burley. Hunt Club is good, as is Pride of Wisconsin, a nice aro. I really need to try Bishops Move and 00 which I will probably pick up after the new year sometime.
They're smokeable and worth their price, but in no way a top tier premium cigar. They're pretty mild. I thought I still had some, but I don't, so they couldn't have been too bad. Give 'em a shot and just buy five or so. I definitely think buying cigars on someone else's recommendation is even riskier than buying pipe tobacco the same way.
Thanks for the reply! I've been smoking and collecting cigars since 2005, and have learned a lot from others' recommendations. I was just curious if this was a sleeper considering it's made by the Eiroas and they have access to some unique and high quality tobacco.
I've only had one experience with Uhles blends.
One day last Fall at Kremers, a small group of guys were visiting and came out to the back deck to have a smoke. They were a Father/Son and friend from up yonder. They had several different bags of Uhles blends and I tried what I think was a VaPer with MAYBE a touch of burley. Can't remember the name, but they definitely had some 00, which our local Mike enjoyed quite a bit.

I have only tried a few Uhle’s blends. They have all been good but Blend 00 takes the cake so far for me. Great burley blend.
