Directors Cut Tobacco, Another German Treat?

[iamn8]

I just placed a large order of the stuff based upon word of mouth. Have you tried it? I'd love to hear thoughts.

I have a few tins. Sweet and slightly smoky(dark fired smoky not lat smoky). Good stuff. The moisture content is excellent and the cut is very unique. Small coins with a mixture of ribbon and broken flake. Packing this stuff is fun, the coins are small enough to layer in a reg size bowl with the other parts mixed in between in whatever manner you please. IIRC, the ribbon is bright Virginia and the broken flake is burley. The coins are VA/per.

Hey Nate. One of my top five favourite blends.
Here were my initial thoughts:

It's funny that the land the land that gave us tubed meats also has the market cornered on tubed tobacco.

Now that's another I was hoping would lay quiet.

I sure Herr W. could manage a cwt group buy up.

It's very easy to order. He accepts PayPal and uses all English as opposed to Motzeks. Unless you want a small amount, a group buy isn't necessary. He can ship a medium box which Max's out at 900g for 18euro.

I've been wanting to try this, too, mainly because of Jim. I've come to realize that I need to focus on stocking up on tobaccos I know I can't live without, rather than chase down obscure blends I may or may not like. I feel pretty burned with my recent Strang order (notice I dropped the exclamation mark?). I'm just gonna stick to ordering pounds and pounds from the GH&Co family from now on. I'm very interested in hearing what you think of Directors Cut though.

This is never a bad thing. See if you can find members here to swap samples with. As MSO489 has noted, putting a few grams of tobacco in a bag and stamped envelope will get it there for the price of a stamp.

I like Directors Cut a lot. Of the three similar tobacco blends in the line it is my favorite. Also in the lineup for General VaPer in that line are Edward G and Louisiana Broken which has more Perique in it.
As already stated, Hans' tobacco is always the perfect moisture when you open it
Next time you order, add a tin or two of Flanagan, my current favorite blend he makes. I've never tasted another blend like it.

I love Directors, but it gives me almost terminal bite. Just a personal chemistry thing, I suppose. The other belnd in this line which is great is Edward G. However, I IMHO my favourite of Hans' blends is Dockworker FLake, which is sublime.

That Dockworkers does look really good! My grandfather would roll over in his grave if he knew I was buying German tobacco.

 

[iamn8]

Well... Tonight I will discover for myself! 'Tis here!!

 

[mcitinner1]

I think my order should be getting close. It's eight days out.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Nate- be careful!! I heard it was sprinkled with Draino. Better send me a couple of tins so I can vet it for you.....

 

[iamn8]

Draino you say?!?! Box is in the mail! I've smoked Draino. It does not taste good.

 

[iamn8]

HOLY CRAP this stuff is absolutely stellar!! This is the first tobacco I'd rate a 10/10. I actually like it more than rope Strang! It's moisture content is perfect as is texture. Zero drying. Zero prep. Just stuff and light and smoke to ash. Perfect in all aspects.

 

[mcitinner1]

Sounds good, can't wait, who do we appreciate! Sorry... Mine's coming this week.
