Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

[quietlife]

freaked and placed an estervals order for the first time...
5 bucks a tin for sunset? 6 bucks for dockworker?! crazy deal

i know i'm going to be one of those guys trying to buy pre-kopp hu blends in a few years if i don't stock up a little

Oh boy, I can't wait to get these statesi-- oh. oh no.



See you in the Estervals checkout line, lads.

edit: oh no (again)

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.

My apologies---I inadvertently cropped out the bottom of the screenshot. It is an Instagram "press release" from Kopp.

Dear Lord, do they have 8-year-olds doing their social media now?

Facts without context.
Yes, it’s a good time to be old. I wouldn’t like to have a lifetime of that to look forward to!

It's an automated translation of a press release direct from Kopp. This is their Instagram account. If you like you can run your own translations or ask a German friend so you can be certain Google translate isn't misinterpreting anything .

No doubt Kopp used AI to write the press release.

This deal is too late for me. I have enough in my cellar to see me to the sunset.

And now for some even better news: we may finally be able to get our hands on some Gladora / Pesse Canoe tobaccos.

Hello, unfortunatelly have bad news. Hans replied this. It means relly tobacco not mentioned in the list will be discontinued :-(

Hi Mirek,

sorry für die späte Antwort. Leider fallen alle DTM Blends aus dem Programm. Da es ja von mir kreierte Mischungen sind, werden sie auch nicht mehr produziert.
Das Ganze tut mir sehr leid und niemanden tut dies mehr weh als mir. Trotzdem wünsche ich Dir weiterhin viel Spaß an Hu Tobacco.
Liebe Grüße und frohe Weihnachten.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Hans Wiedemann

My guess is that it was part of the deal for having his brand exclusively distributed worldwide.

Wait so Dockworker is not discontinued?
and Director's Cut is?
I thought the list was the list of blends that WILL be discontinued...

No doubt Kopp used AI to write the press release.

I keep telling people "AI" means artificial intelligence and artificial means "Not Real". So, AI is not real intelligence.

I know, semantics.

Politicians have been using AI for decades.

I know.. can we get some folks in here that speak American?

 

[MattRVA]

I wonder if DTM is not producing tobacco anymore? I know the DTM brick and mortar closed. It seems like everything in the world is being consolidated.

Sry my mistake. Of course whats on the list will be gone soon.

 

[quietlife]

haha thank you my friend. i felt like a horses ass placing an order for 5 x dockworker, haymaker, and sunset if those are the ones that would be distributed

To summarize, it seems that HU Tobacco products that were manufactured by Dan/DTM (a competitor of Kopp's) will not be part of the deal moving forward, as HU Tobacco is now owned by Kopp.
