HU Tobacco In The US?

[sablebrush52]

Apparently HU will be available in the US shortly. Beans 316 posted a video and they are listed on SP. Current status is listed as non available but that will probably change. Link to Beans 316

Interesting suppositions concerning Dan Tobacco making the blends. Earlier suppositions said Dan made blends would all be dropped from the line up.
LOVE the machine shop.
Crap video.
If tins do show up I might pick up a couple out of curiosity to see how they compare to pre 2018 versions, when K&K started adulterating them.
Could be lint and sawdust.

Its good tobacco. They may or may not have altered things a bit. Its said they did but also that some of them were changed back. Id put it up against most othere blends. It stands above a lot of them. That said, I dont know if anything I have smoked came after the recent changeover in ownership.

I called Smokingpipes this afternoon to ask what happened to the listings that were up yesterday. I was told next Tuesday they'll be released.

Good opportunity to patronize your local tobacconist. I'm going by there today and touch base with him to see if he will be ordering, and throw my hat in the ring.

Although Dan pipe company(Tobacconist in Luneburg DE) has been out of operations since 2023

Prices at Estervals is pretty much equivalent to what's being charged here in the states. I'd just assume pay the shipping to not deal with trying to get it on these drops.

I've read and watched some stuff on this brand coming in and most come close to orgasmic delight when discussing. I'm sure they are good, but I don't know if I'm gonna sell my truck to buy a batch up. I remember when I was just out of high school and Coors beer finally came east of the Mississippi river. Everyone lost their mind and I guess I did too. Now..... just another beer.

The HU blends are now available on smoking pipes. I just got the email and the link took me to the website showing the price. They all have a limit on how many tins you can buy.

I personally don't think $25 for a 100 gram tin is expensive. That breaks down to $12.50 for a 50 gram tin.

 

[elasmo]

Bah, I held off buying more tobacco since the last run of "The Beast".....gotto get me that director's cut...

Does anyone know if the US side 100g tins are sealed?

I agree, the price is reasonable.

I take this comment back. There were a couple of blends I wanted to try and I was able t get them with no problems. I was expecting fire sale madness. I have to give credit to SP for placing limits that made this drop available to a wider audience.

Honestly, I didn't realize the tins were that large. That is pretty reasonable.

Looked them over, nothing raised an eyebrow. Happy hunting all!

Agreed. Some blends look good, but not good enough for me to elbow my way into the vanguard. If K&K prove to have returned to previous quality standards, I may give a couple of them a try. @JimInks review of Director’s Cut indicates K&K do have some fence mending to do.

 

[Sigmund]

I just wish in turn we could get GLP for a similiar price. We get gouged in the EU becuase its an import. I dont for a second believe that there is a justification for double the US price.

 

[FLDRD]

Well they proved to be popular.
13 of 18 blends are out of stock on smokingpipes, and a similar % on tobaccopipes.
I am well stocked on the leaf right now and chose to wait and see what others say about them now that more will have access. I'm sure the chatter will increase.

I got a wide selection of HU via Estervals a few months ago but have yet to open any of the tins, so I held back and didn't go after any on this release. I'll be interested in exchanging some samples to do some side-by-side comparisons when I do get around to opening my pre-KK tins. (Or is it just "K" now that Kohlhase has split from the company?)
