Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

[sardonicus87]

Yep, definitely translates to discontinued... and that's a long ass list.

I've never had HU tobaccos so, at least I don't know what I am losing out on.

And here I only barely knew thee,

I’m also curious if they will sell, or distribute HU blends manufactured by DTM to markets outside of Germany.

No from my understanding.

Looks like the out and out Aros are getting the axe. Some of the others, like Haymaker and Dockworker I tried and passed on for being too delicate in flavor to hold my interest.

Maybe these just weren’t selling. There were a few, like Tillerman, that I liked a lot.

Stuff happens.

Esterval's checkout page is non-functional this morning.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Hopefully that's the case.
Hard to imagine such cornerstone blends as Haymaker, Sunset, and Dockworker being discontinued.

These blends are made by the other manufacturer and will not be distributed by Kopp.

Im not on facebook. Maybe some one can write a question and ask. If you keep sentences short and simple Google Translate does a pretty good job.

Yeah I asked Hans. Crazy.

 

[Sigmund]

Thanks. I bet they just arent exporting those but will continue to sell them over here.

Hopefully they dont cancel. I like the Moroccan blend but not enough to put in a special order. I just put one in.

You pipesters in the US are in for a treat! Im just finishing up some Makhuwa and its awesome. I sprnkled in a touch of lat for a different layer but its great as is. Mak with a cup of coffee....thats a serious smoke. I just keep smoking and thinking, "Damn this is good".

Arm twisted....sold.

 

[stelton]

Wrote direct email to Hans - what does his post on Facebook mean - if mentioned tobaccos are completely discontinued or just fell off international distribution. Will keep you posted.

 

[TheWhale13]

I mean, there is not any international distribution? Just imports? It's not like somebody in the US is selling HU right?

 

[WerewolfOfLondon]

Those are some of HU's best blends. Would be a shame to see any of them go.

Agreed. Those blends were made by Dan Tobacco. Only the Kopp-made blends are surviving.

Another update. Apparently the HU brand will become the property of Kopp in five years. I suppose then they can make any quality-cost adjustments they see fit.

Well, they've already been doing that...

I take back my early enthusiasm and it looks like some blends I liked are going to get the ax.
