Yes! One of those rare ones that never tire out, regardless of how many times you have 'smoked it'
Looks like they were just added on SP and show as in stock.
Just ordered a couple of tins. I haven't tried any HU blend. I do wish they were available in 50g.
Just grabbed Asmara, Zulu, and Dark Moor. That'll do for now. Anybody tried Night Owl? That's the only other one that interested me.
One can be nly hope the What, When, Where and How Tobacco are next.
Oooh I see these have arrived, now the question is HU Director’s Cut still good… 
I mean ouch $31 it better be…
We gots to get the Master over here sampling this stuff…

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't still be good. Different doesn't necessarily mean bad (and I don't necessarily know that it's different in any way). And no offense to Jim, but I've stopped trusting anybody else's taste in tobacco and just try what I'm interested in for myself. $31 is for 100g, too, so basically two tins. So the price is not bad at all. Some of the blends are in the $20-25 range, too, which is great.Oooh I see these have arrived, now the question is HU Director’s Cut still good…

It also doesn’t show Kentucky listed, and I was fortunate to be gifted some from 2018, and that has Kentucky. I actually thought the Kentucky was it’s Signature...
Hmm Director’s Cut without Kentucky

Ordered a nice Savinelli Pipe and three new to me HU blends. Nyala, Zulu and Khartoum.
Thoughts on these blends?

What's the deal with the 'old' tins Not being sealed??? Is that for real? Why would a pipe tobacco company not seal their tins?
Hey man, you making me feel like a newbie around here, like I don’t get any of this.. LOL
I’m just messing with ya, thanks for the reply.P.S. I edited my replies, I wasn’t paying attention to the tin, I explained below…

The images of the Director's Cut tins show Kentucky listed as a component.
Sheesh, need to pay better attention, I was even looking right at it.
I now know why I said this before, about no Kentucky, there was some talk in the past, I can’t remember from where, about a newer recipe without it, that I guess was stuck on my mind instead.
Thanks
P.S. I edited this out of my last replies...
The “old” tins were the paint can style, so not vacuum sealed. I’ve got tins of HU that have kept their seal for over 5 years so unless you plan on keeping it in the cellar for a very long time it’s not a problem.
I actually like the paint cans as they seal up nicely as I’m working through a tin.
Rattray's Exotic Passion comes in a big tin that's not sealed, and in the tin the tobacco is wrapped in an unsealed cellphone bag held shut with a sticker. Don't know why, but some companies do it. I was surprised, too.
I doubt I'll get any of it to review. And they are beyond any budget that I have so I'm not buying them. I am interested to know how they have changed from when I originally smoked and reviewed them.Oooh I see these have arrived, now the question is HU Director’s Cut still good…

Director's Cut has gone at least three versions that I know of. The last time I tried Edward G and Makhuwa was in 2019, and they had changed. A friend who smokes Janneman told me two years ago that it had changed. That's all I can tell you.
all this stuff is sold out on multiple sites- unbelievable - sometimes I wonder where everyonecomes from with the sentiment -- I mean the mentions on this forum were lukewarm - is there a whole new generation of 'hipster' pipe smokers in the loop these days ?
