    Tinder Box Erin System Value?

    😉 Let me give it a nice refresh and I’ll let you know.

    Tinder Box Erin System Value?

    I recently stumbled onto a nice Tinder Box Erin System pipe. I found some good resources online detailing the history of this Peterson sub brand made for TB. However, there have been essentially no recent sales that I can find on eBay or other sites giving a value for this obviously limited...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    I want to thank all of you for an enjoyable discussion on this topic. As a first time poster, I jumped off the deep end and all of you were polite and informative. I learned a lot from the discussion. Looking forward to “cussing and discussing” more topics in the future with all of you. Thanks!

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    I think our replies crossed in the ether. Given that info, our logic is even more relative. Nice work @PipeIT

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    Attached are 2 pics of the promoted label for Director's Cut from SP. As this is a brand new to America series, what on these labels tells you that this is packaged in the US? SP didn’t provide any other info such as the back label that would have shown it was packaged here. Many of you...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    Actually checking earlier it looks like they dumped more HU on the market to include Directors Cut. So either they held back stock or there have been more people who think “irrationally” and returned their tins.

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    No there’s not, but it does go back to my original argument that Laudisi misled the consumer that these were blends that were the same offering as in Germany. Without saying that they were blended there and packaged here. I returned my 18 tins…so someone is able to grab them from SmokingPipes...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    Being a big wine guy, I think you nailed why I have the perceptions I do about this issue. I will reiterate for those new to this thread, I was not against the process they used. I was against the fact that we weren’t openly informed of their choice before purchase. I should have the right to...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    You nailed it! That’s what I was trying to convey, albeit poorly I guess. I bought the allure of getting a completely German product through and through with these HU’s. I guess I am a bit of purest. I have driven BMW’s for over 20 years. Having never once owned one built in the US…

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    he Here is my logic. The tobacco is blended to “perfection” at Kopp. Then it’s boxed up as bulk and most likely transported via cargo ship across the pond. Maybe that takes a month. Maybe that took 4 months given the port strike recently. Once it’s offloaded and freighted to Laudisi, then it...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    Don’t disagree with you at all. It’s the fact that this should have been disclosed to us upfront. A simple marketing statement of “Same tried and true HU blend meticulously packaged in our facilities to ensure the highest quality sealed tins, exclusively for the US market” could have actually...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    I for one have to say I feel duped. The marketing on SP and others never mentioned it was packaged here. We were led to believe it was all handled by Kopp and then shipped over. This is nothing more than Laudisi licensing it, packaging it and selling for the US market. Look I get it, Sutliff...

    Any Reviews of Finsbury Tobaccos?

    Fair enough. Not that big of deal to me. Just found it curious there wasn’t much out there on them. At that price I’ll just grab a bag or 2 and see where they stand. Thanks everyone who replied!

    Any Reviews of Finsbury Tobaccos?

    Comparing flavor lineups I agree with both of you. Funny how COJ didn’t show up in the searches. There were a few reviews on there which helped. I will say, Payless C&P has is for $18.99 which is much cheaper than COJ. Payless also carry the Smoker Friendly Premium blends that BriarLee is raving...
