Dear pipe fellows,

I am Ernst. 64 years old and smoke pipes with some interruptions since 45 years. I have a collection of ca.100 mainly European pipes and love Virginia Flakes. Here and there also a nice Latakia or an aromatic.
In Germany we have around 750 different pipe tobaccos. Some of them made by small manufacturers like HU tobacco
or Dan Pipe.
The gras is always greener on the other side and therefore I started to order and cellar US pipe tobacco recently from C&D and Seattle Pipe Club. I am still looking back to the good old days before COVID, when I could buy Penzance in the shop of Iwan Riess in Chicago on business trips.
I am looking forward to some interesting exchange here.

All the best
Ernst

Wilkommen Ernst!
I also ordered a first time at Dan Pipe (being your neighbour west from Germany) , I'm curious about their own "hausmarke", just kept it to the international brands for now. Maybe you can suggest some!

ErnstI I have a question, HU tobacco is it only sold in Germany? Apart from Estervals is it sold in any other stores that ship to the UK.
