HU Tobacco Coming to the States

[Sigmund]

I understand you in principle but I guess I dont undersand having buyers remorse. Frankly, Id prefer they change to those tins everywhere. I can understand returning them becuase you didnt like the way they did business. I wouldnt but I can certainly understand that. But somehow I cant wrap my head around the buyers remorse concept. Maybe that means something different to me. Id crack one open and light it up.

As a side note. Its same case with many blends but I have found HU to be MUCH better when its 3 or 4 days out of lock up. It never tastes right straight from the tin new.

My tins of Indaba and Nyala arrived and I popped them both to get a whiff. Ended up smoking Nyala first and heres a few notes. I've never had this blend before. It was surprisingly smooth, mild red virginia sweetness and tang mixing with some fermented notes and a woodsy/earthy note thats sort of creamy if that makes sense. Definitely has a nicotine kick as I got a bit warm during the smoke, with light perspiration, which was another thing I was surprised about considering how smooth and mild the overall experience was going. Lit up right after dinner too so I was full. Could smoke it all day if it wasnt for the nic. Not a bad first bowl but I need to smoke more of it. Indaba up next...

I didn’t order Nyala at first even though it was one of the handful that interested me. Your review convinced me so I have a tin on the way from Boswells (they have several blends still in stock as of now)

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 sits for some unknown period until the packaging line is ready to tin them up.

How humidified is the tobacco now, compared to when it was ready over in Germany? Did the trip across the pond during the summer alter the blends, either for better or worse? How are the US tins now, compare to a tin packed there?

Please don’t flame me for overthinking this. I’m just conveying my mindset in public as to why I personally have remorse. I’m sure I’ll probably have more remorse later for sending them back…

Considering the HU “tins” sold in Europe are un-sealed paint can style tins, they wouldn’t come in a vacuumed environment either way.
