Hello from Germany

[Duke of Erinmore]

Good evening (yes, it's 8:35 pm CET) fellow pipe smokers!

My name is Stefan, I am a 41 year old Munich native and am currently living in Bayreuth (maybe any Wagner aficionados here who might know this sleepy place?). I work as a webmaster for an electricity grid operator.

I have been a pipe smoker since high school, and then on and off over the next 25 years, and also during the longer breaks kept my collection of bowls (somewhere in the lower 3 digits) and a few vintage blends. My favourite tobacco is my namesake, the original Erinmore by Murray's (I don't touch the current stuff), and I'm the happiest of all campers when I can get my hands on a sealed tin. Apart from that, I appreciate Lakelands and strong Latakia blends. Thankfully, we have got great artisan tobacco blenders like HU in Germany that create really awesome stuff.

Looking forward to pleasant chats with this really international crowd!

Kind regards, Stefan

PS: I am not a native English speaker, and as I work in an international company with lots of other non-natives, I am quite fluent in wrong English, so please be patient if I make any mistakes...

Thanks for the heads-up on language, guys - me binge-watching UK (also some US) TV shows turned out to be worthwile in the end ?

 

[Magpiety]

Welcome from Kansas City! Your English is excellent. I've been working on learning my wife's native language for a few years now, and it's definitely a struggle for me. If someday I get as good at Spanish as you are at English, I'll be very happy!

Greetings from Vaughan, ON, and welcome on board!

Welcome!!!

Servus Stefan!

This is a great forum, filled with native English speakers who can't use proper vocabulary or spelling. Don't worry!

Welcome from Louisiana.

I just received a tobacco order from Germany that included three different HU tobacco blends - Hadde's Best Irish, Tillerman and Chinas Heaven. I'm smoking some of the Tillerman as I type this and wishing I would have bought more than one tin.

What would your recommendation be for my next HU order?

 

[Spavilla]

Welcome Stefan! I am a new member too. What a great place to share our common interest in leaf and pipe. I hail from the Gulf Coast of Florida and have hosted many wonderful German citizens at my micro-resort, Spavilla. Keep us posted of your endeavors. - Franco

 

[Country Bladesmith]

Welcome from Louisiana! And your English is fantastic. No worries there!

 

[Duke of Erinmore]

What would your recommendation be for my next HU order?

Hi pappymac from Perique Country

I would say it depends on your preferences. If you can stand some flavour, I would definitely recommend the Daddy Gefftl - it's really unique and my favourite HU blend.

From the African Line I can recommend the Khoisaan (and of course the - also in avilability - Penzance-like Fayyum Cake.

Best, Stefan

 

[Paddledaddy]

Welcome Duke. Not to change your thread but where do I order FU Fayyum Cake?

Welcome Duke. Not to change your thread but where do I order FU Fayyum Cake?

Hi Paddledaddy, I think it's sold out at the moment. The Fayyum Mixture is also mostly sold out, but still available at HU Tabak Bosch.
