HU Tobacco Coming to the States

[filmguerilla]

So it appears that HU tobacco blends are set to drop at SmokingPipes, and maybe other sites, this week or next week. Several YouTubers, like Beans, are talking about it and it appears to be true. Anybody here heard about this? What HU blends are we hoping to get?

I did see the HU blends on SP yesterday (Monday) sometime around 10:15pm. I didn't bother to get a screen shot because they all showed an out-of-stock status and I just figured I'd missed the drop. I assume they were either testing the page or someone accidentally published the products before they were ready. Since they've gone to the trouble of setting up listings, I assume the blends will be available to order sometime soon.

I believe it lands everywhere Oct 29th 6pm EST. Looked to be about 15 blends or so

hallelujah. LOOOOOOOOOOOONG overdue. i hope it's the same product. I'm actually cynical due to...regulatory abuse. Look forward to actually seeing a HU product, in my own hand!

I think I'll try some Indaba and Khartoum.

Those do look interesting. Night Owl and Dark Moor also look nice.

I took a look at WCC. Nice selection, several of the classics and only one that was considered a dog. Interesting to see that the packaging had to be changed. The price is pretty good.
There are a couple that I would like to try, to see if K has unscrewed them. Makhuwa was a favorite but the tins I bought in 2018 were garbage and I trashed them.

Indaba was terrific.

Im intersted in seeing what folks think of HU Lat blends.

For those interested, Tuarkeh is a lot like Quiet Nights. I personally think QN edges it out by a hair.

Khartoum is nice with the addition of KY in the blend.

Overall I think US customers will find that they have access to equal or better latakia blends...though ZULU is pretty Unique.

They will probably be hard to get for a while but after the initial spalsh Im intersted in seeing what lasts. The US market is tough becuase of the huge amount of product avaliable. Just between C&D and GLP there is a huge number of blends. The choice is pretty crazy as compared to the EU.

In the EU Id say HU is about the best Ive found. There are some nice Dan tobaccos but most dont reach the level of HU blends.

Online there is a pretty steep price for Directors Cut. I guess folks are hiking up the big name in the lineup. I wonder if the US price will level out on that one. They are asking 31 for a 100 gram tin.

I second Sigmund's opinion regarding HU. 31 for Directors Cut is a bit high but finally a blend we can by cheaper.

No. Duty has been heavy lately on almost all shipments and I'm also moving. I'll try a few blends some time in the spring or summer next year probably.

Smokingpipes will have them. I was on the site Monday night and they had a HU tab up and a bunch of them listed, all out of stock of course. I now notice the tab isn't there so I believe it was a test. Beans mentioned Oct 29th as a possible drop date which is what WCC has on their homepage scrolling banner. I can't wait to finally try some of these blends.

I'm glad dark moor and night owl will be readly available I really enjoyed those.

The packaging caught my eye as well. Hopefully they are sealed tins, which would be an improvement over the paint cans. I say already sitting on a lifetime supply of friggin paint cans

I noticed Watch City Cigar had a banner up on their website for HU, and I'm curious myself. I don't know anything about HU Tobacco, but I'm going to follow this thread for any suggestions that come up. Looks like it'll be available Tuesday so it might be a good excuse to swing by next week. Prices seem decent considering they're 100g tins.

My wallet hates this news!
