What are some of your favorite German-produced blends? What would be in your currently-produced-in-Germany Hall of Fame? K&K blends, Dan Tobac, etc... What has impressed you of late? I've been pretty into everything I've tried, though all you folks have made a lot of it hard to come by :wink:

I haven't tried an HU blend I didn't like. Director's Cut is one I always have on hand. My summer time aromatic (for the rare times when I'm around other people) was Daddy Grefftl and I've enjoyed it. Peter Heinrichs also produces blends I enjoy (curly block, dark strong flake and others). Rattrays also (Marlin Flake, Old Gowrie etc). You already mentioned Dan Tobacco.

On reading this again I see you mentioned K&K blends (which would include HU's Directors Cut, Rattrays Marlin Flake and others). Entschuldigung!

Eh, it was very early in the morning, partner. I liked your suggestions!
Where does a strapping [redacted] lad acquire HU tobacco?

Ha! Around the time grey showed up in my beard folks stopped calling me young. Ah well. I'm in Germany which makes obtaining some of these a bit easier. However the HU Tobacco web page has a link for international orders. I imagine this would be a good place to try. HU-Tobacco

"Pfeife" is pipe in German (it also means whistle) and "pfeifentabak" is pipe tobacco, might help to know that when searching the site.
