HU Tobacco - Need recommendations

[disinformatique]

Hi guys,
I recently came to know about Hans of HU Tobaccos through one of the forum friend Dracul who is also a relatively young Indian pipe smoker like me. I would really appreciate if you can recommend some of Hans' creations as his website gives very little information on the blends. I consider myself an eclectic pipe smoker so everything goes.
My haul would be around 500g or 10 tins for the first time.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

Chris

Here's my reviews if it'll help: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/jims-hu-tobacco-reviews

I suggest Director's Cut, Nashville County, Edward G. (their's is different than the Sutliff version), Old Fedder's, Indaba, Louisiana Broken, Haymaker, and Fayyum.

Old fredder's is the most unique VaPer I've ever smoked.
Definitely worth a try!

Dock Worker is the only one I've tried, and I really enjoyed it.

Dock worker and directors cut are my favorite two!

I've had Fayyum Kake, it's good but was lacking in strength for me. If you've had Gaslight, I find it much better than Fayyum Kake.

Thanks Guys,
Will be stocking up on the recommendations.

Flanagan is worthy of consideration.

If you fancy Burley, the Nashville County is a solid choice. I found it very similar to Wessex Burley Slice, though maybe a bit more complex. Good stuff.

Apart from his Flakes and 2 bulk Blends all of Hans offerings are in 100gram/3.5oz tins so it's either 5 tins or stepping up to 1 Kilo.
My recommendation would be Foundation by Musico Zulu for a sweet&spicy Lat Mixture.
