Shhhh! What Peck doesn't know is that we've secretly substituted Mixture 79 for the tobacco which these packages originally contained!
I keep hearing about this blend, and would dearly like to try some. Is there a way for someone in the US to order the tobacco without traveling to Germany?
Indeed, anyone can order it.
Here is how I did it:
1. Go to: http://deintabak.de and register for the site. I suggest visiting with Google chrome and allowing it to translate the site into english since it is entirely in german.
2. Once you are registered, place an order.
3. Herbert Motzek does not take credit cards or paypal. With your order confirmation email (also in German - use google translate if you need to) you will receive bank wire instructions.
4. I used Western Union to make a bank wire transfer to Motzek online using my credit card at the Western Union website.
5. In about 10 days a package arrives at your door.

By the way, I went authentic with the ropes. You can also buy a pre-sliced version if you are really lazy.
I have a razor sharp cleaver and I slice thin coins off the rope. Jon Guss graciously gifted me a sample a couple months back and I loved the pageantry of cutting the rope myself. As I said though, you can let Herbert do that work and buy the already cut Strang if you don't share my love for the ritual.
"Never thought I would be happy to get seven turds."
So in this case a picture is worth 1,000 turds?

Yeah, that looks bad. I don't plan to enter this stuff or my GQ tobacco in my cellar at tobaccocellar.com for that reason.
Great point. I need to experiment a bit.
One thing Jon and I discovered is this stuff needs a fair bit of dry time.
