D'Huber had a pipe maker uncle?

[LatakiaLover]

Or something like that. Maybe.

Whoever he was, he had some juice at Peterson's. Looks like whatever he touched got stamped with his initials:

Whoa! Cool!

That's the second Huber I've seen outside myself making pipes. The other is a brand out of Germany.

Apparently they also blend tobacco. I'm gonna have to try some.

Hi David,

...Apparently they also blend tobacco. I'm gonna have to try some.

I absolutely recommend to do so, some of their blends are pretty great, especially the Balkan and the English Perique.
That Peterson, by the way, has once been sold by the very same Huber, they're stamping their pipes with that sign for warranty reasons.
It's actually one of Germanys leading tobacconists ...

Best regards, Jens

P.S. "Huber" is a quite commonplace name in Germany, especially Bavaria. Some of your ancestry must've come from there ...

Undoubtedly. Some of my family is into genealogy. I should probably ask them about it.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll give a few tins a try. It'll be pretty cool to have tobacco with my name on it.
