HH in McBaren

[oarvanderahxenoeln]

What does the HH stand for from McBaren's Dark Fired, Syrian... blends?

From the Mac Baren web site:
"The reason for calling this tobacco HH is quite simple. HH is the initials for the founder of Mac Baren Tobacco, Mr. Harald Halberg. If you look closely you will find the same initials in the Mac Baren logo, incorporated the shield hold by the lions. "

If you take this video tour of Mac Baren you will see the name Harald Halberg stamped on several crates in the factory.

Read the text overlays too. They are kind of funny.

Thanks for the video. Not many people working there. I guess that is why so many folks are out of work. I remember when they started using robots for manufacturing, they used to say it will lead to a shorter work week. They told us it would lead to a higher quality of life. What it lead to was mass unemployment and a bigger gap between the 1% and the 99%.

Great link Kevin! As the operator of a small business that supports manufacturing I say that article is spot on.

Not to mention that MacBaren is in Denmark. :P
