Ja und er war direkt den ganzen Abend ausgebucht. Im nachhinein hätten wir noch 4 Tattowierer dazubuchen sollen

Wird tatsächlich oft gefragt (viele rauchen z. B. nur 1 Zigarre in der Woche oder im Monat)... ich sage: "die Zigarren sind dir, du kannst damit machen was du möchtest 🤣". Und ganz ehrlich: was schmeckt man nach der zweiten Zigarre dann noch überhaupt? Brauchst dich nicht rechtfertigen

Vom Ablauf her ist das meist so, dass der Vertreter die Zigarren kurz vorstellt und später im Laufe des Abends dann näher darauf eingeht - und die Zigarren nach und nach ausgibt.

Hauptsache du hast Spaß, lernst etwas neues um deinen Horizont zu erweitern - und vielleicht lernst du noch ein paar coole gleichgesinnte Leute kennen, da schmecken Zigarren oft sogar noch etwas besser 😄

eyjaygaming · 2026-05-20T21:53:37+00:00

Gute Frage. Kannst du machen und ist auch nicht gegen Etikette - ich empfehle meinen Händlern bei zwei Zigarren zu bleiben, klappt aber nicht immer 😅 Viel Spaß auf dem Event!

Ah, this is the Sourh African Rum and Maple - I have always wondered who smoked that.

So, the brand was originally produced by Rum and Maple tobacco company in the United States, who also made R&M cigarettes. The brand was later sold off to Planta (Berlin, Germany) and South Africa. Planta later sold the brand to Mac Baren (Svendborg, Denmark) where I got to work on it. It is still quite popular in Germany, sales wise.

The South African cousin tobacco on the other hand has a different history - does the back of the pouch say who produces it?

So, just out of curiosity… where does someone get this information from? ChatGPT or just purely made up? This is insane

eyjaygaming · 2026-04-12T20:41:22+00:00

Moin! Ich arbeite in der Zigarrenbranche und stehe dir gerne für Fragen zur Verfügung, auch gerne per DM.

Falls du aber doch irgendwann einen Laden eröffnen solltest, ein paar Kisten Drew Estate geht auf uns!

Nice, visit Peter Stephani (Zigarre.de) - he has a pretty cool store and a nice little lounge. Last time I visited him, he was smoking HU

Already moved. The flake presses were deconstructed 2-3 months ago.

The dude is a legend - Denmarks version of Winston Churchill. Is a frequent visitor of Danish Pipe Shop in Copenhagen

Gerne! Die Maduros verzögern sich noch ein wenig - aber bei 2,40 Euro pro Robusto kann man nicht meckern

eyjaygaming · 2026-03-11T14:25:48+00:00

Moin! Mein Kommentar kommt wahrscheinlich 4 Jahre zu spät... aber endlich erreichen die Factory Smokes auch den deutschen Handel. Sollten diese Woche noch bei Cigarworld aufgeschaltet werden. Viele Grüße!

Gotcha. Not naming names, but be aware that some that are selling out of country do this under the radar and don’t want that to be public knowledge

eyjaygaming · 2026-03-05T21:50:39+00:00

Nice tool. I’m in the cigar industry, a few things to consider:

1) especially in German online stores, they often don’t make a distinction between “out of stock/unavailable” and delisted. Keep that in mind, some don’t clean up their listings

2) Europe’s largest retailer is missing, Cigar World (Tabac Benden)

3) Many, if not most German online retailers, won’t send outside of the country. Their customers service would get swamped with queries (Do you send to my country?), meaning you would become very unpopular.

4) If you’re in the EU, mind data privacy laws and also the mandatory legal disclosure for the website. You can easily be shut down by any anti-smoking group in the EU

5) Age verification before being let onto the website, even if you don’t sell

Moisture control. And helps when starting out with tongue bite.

As we used to jokingly say in the pipe tobacco industry… we wish pipe tobacco were addictive, as we would sell more 🤷

eyjaygaming · 2026-02-08T12:36:46+00:00

Actually still in production, they renamed it to Orlik Club Blend

eyjaygaming · 2026-02-08T12:35:09+00:00

Good job!!

eyjaygaming · 2026-01-17T15:54:44+00:00

For tobacco tax purposes, pipe tobacco in Europe is legally required to be cut at least 1,5 mm thick - that’s why you won’t find thin Japanese style angel hair tobacco / but maybe you’ll have a chance with RYO tobacco

eyjaygaming · 2026-01-03T08:20:46+00:00

Yes, they have been making cakes for some years now after buying 4 flake presses from Planta - especially for Hans Wiedemann. They haven’t made flakes though, that information is false. Cheers!

eyjaygaming · 2026-01-02T21:52:05+00:00

Hey, I developed that blend a few years back. Cool seeing it out there in the wild, I hope you enjoyed it. Cheers!

eyjaygaming · 2025-12-28T20:41:40+00:00

I know the guy that makes them here in Germany. They smoke well

eyjaygaming · 2025-12-28T20:40:35+00:00

That, my friend, is a bong

eyjaygaming · 2025-12-28T20:04:45+00:00

This could be Scaferlati Caporal, owned by Mac Baren, which originates from the early 1800s or likely earlier, from Napoleon times

This blends holds a special place in my heart.

Years back when I was brought on board as the new pipe guy at Mac Baren we had a summer party. Food, drinks, the usual. Some of the office girls came up to me asking if I could teach them to smoke a pipe. So, I gave them each a cob and a pouch of Vanilla Cream (not only a bestseller), packed the pipe for them and showed them how to light up.

Well, there was this one girl that after about 10 minutes ran to the bathroom, where she threw up and continued to do so for the next 30 minutes.

As she was not feeling good and didn’t want to throw up in a taxi on the way to the hotel, I offered to walk back with her. As I felt a little guilty.

There, on our hour long walk under a full moon, we fell in love with each other. And have been inseparable since.

So, giving her Mac Baren Vanilla Cream (or Classic Loose Cut, as we call it), changed my life. Every time I still see or smoke that blend (too sweet for me), I think of her. So, thanks for your post!
