Has anyone bought any of the curly strang since the change of ownership? And if so, is it the same as the old Strang? I have noticed that they don't seem to have the uncut logs anymore - only something called Curly mixture.

Where are people buying this from? Even the curly mixture? I missed the whole strang boat.

jack, this is the curly mixture:

However, based on the description (which I translated from German), this other blend seems more like the old Strang than the one above:

The description of the second blend above is:
A natural Curly Mixture full and strong flavor.

A high proportion of Curly Cut Virginias with dark fired Virginia refined with Burley and Perique make this mixture honest and deep in flavor.



The description of the first blend is:
A soft palatable, based Perique beach mixture. An ideal introduction tobacco.

New guy is smart. He may or may not be a good/great blender, but he has a PayPal option which simplifies the process, a whole lot. Just ordered 600 grams took a minute or two. I went for the 16/5 "The New"

Sounds good to me.
The shipping blows pretty hard.

Well shit. I'm in (if you'll have me) for roughly 50 bucks worth, whatever amount it works into easiest. I vote the second blend. Better to spread the overseas shipping damage IMHO. I'll Paypal whomever does the deal. I trust you guys.

You don't need to do a group buy. Just order your stuff and pay via PayPal. That will work until PayPal finds out you're ordering tobacco, then they'll pull the service, so don't wait too long.
Strang may return. Or it may not. The Curly mix is pretty good and it's available

"That will work until PayPal finds out you're ordering tobacco, then they'll pull the service"



Why will PayPal pull the plug???

P&C and SP and many other large scale vendors use it and it is how I order all my tobacco blends and pipes for that matter

I don't see how PayPal will do anything but help speed up the transaction as they do with every other vendor.

 
The advantage of a group buy would be dividing up shipping costs. I am in the middle of closing my store and then a tour of NC immediately afterward. So, if it doesn't fit into my mailbox, I'd be afraid to order anything that doesn't fit into my mailbox after next week. ... But, I'll check with The Briary to see if they'll make an order for our Pipe Club. But, if anyone is placing an order on here, I'd jump on that instead.

PayPal has grandfathered in a few of their accounts, but they have a "no tobacco" policy, which precedes the Motzek account.

If you're ordering, why not try out both curly blends and find out which you prefer? Personally, I'm good with what I got with the last two group buys. For now I'm just letting the Strang rope age. Nice sparkly crystals forming on the 2015. Should be superb in another couple of years.

PayPal has a no cig policy. But they do not have a no pipe tobacco policy. You need to get approval. I doubt the euro PayPal enforcers will ding Motzek and it makes sense that approval was or would be granted for Motzek.
"You sent a payment of €114.00 EUR to Herbert Motzek"
