This is a video impression of an excellent meeting I had with Dutch, Belgian and German pipe-smokers in Düsseldorf, Germany. There we visited tobacco shop Linzbach, Hausbrauerei Zum Schlüssel and the Cigarworld lounge.
Dutch Pipe Smoker

Great video. Very envious!
Thanks!
An Oscar Award is deserved for this video.
Utopia preserved for viewing over and over again.
I would gladly sweep the floors in that store in exchange
for a fair value of pipe tobacco blends that are not available
here in Seattle, Wa.
I would choose that location for my final resting place !
Your best video so far Arno !
Thank you very much! Although, I have made only 2 videos yet 😉 Yes they have a LOT. I am wondering if they even have more than Heinrichs in Bergheim.. Only thing missing (as with Heinrichs) are some HU Tobacco blends.
What are HU blends ?
I’ve not heard of them.
You don’t know HU Tobacco?? HU Tobacco is the German brand of master blender Hans Wiedemann. Essentially he works the same as GL Pease. He creates the blends and then lets a tobacco manufacturer make them. In the case of GL Pease Cornell & Diehl, in the case of HU Tobacco Danpipe and Kohlhase & Kopp. To my taste HU Tobacco blends are one of the best coming out of Europe mainland. Hans Wiedemann is very, very talented. In this German tobacco shop they also send abroad: https://www.pfeifendepot.de/produkt-kategorie/tabak-tobacco/pfeifentabak/hu-tobacco/
And I have done an interview some years ago with Hans: https://dutchpipesmoker.wordpress.com/2013/05/20/interview-with-master-blender-hans-wiedemann-from-hu-tobacco-part-1/
Sounds very good and enticing. A bit difficult to order because of the language barrier. I don’t understand German.
It seems that the euro exchange rate, the shipping and the VAT might seem prohibitive also, adding as much as 30 percent to the
costs.
I’ll just have to go there !
I think you can mail Pfeifendepot in English with things you want. By the way, the prices you see on the site are the prices you get, no added taxes. The Euro does not so well against the dollar so… And yes, you should go there 😉
Excellent video! Looks as if everyone had a great time smoking, socializing, and dining. So civilized!
Thank you! We surely had a great time indeed!
