Hamburger
Pfeifentabak
(Hamburg Pipe Tobacco)
Our credit to the tobacco trading tradition of our
former home town with six blends named after
historic places and faces in Hamburg.
Wittkittels
„White Coats“ - that’s how Hamburg’s citizens named the men of the
first City Fire Brigade in the middle of the 19th century.
A gently matured “Ready Rubbed Flake” blended from various
golden and brown Virginia grades, a smooth delight for lovers of
moderately full tobaccos. The basic blend is seasoned with a very
discreet flavour composition just to refine the tobacco’s natural sweet
aroma and to improve the nice scent in the air. Wittkittels can be
smoked in all average size pipes (you may have to be rubb it out a little
more for smaller pipe bowls).
Best.Nr. 8202-50 50g pull-ring tin € 6,70
Best.Nr. 8202-250 250g economy pack € 27,50
Alter Pinnas
„Alter Pinnas“ (Old Pinnacle) was a popular pub restaurant of the
19th century, established in an old ship by the river bank of St. Pauli.
Smooth Virginia and Burley tobaccos, a pinch of Kentucky and a
smaller quantity of Black Cavendish in a fine gentle pipe mixture
with a discreetly sweet bouquet and the tobacco’s natural flavour still
present. A small portion of Broad Cut Virginia is added to improve
its slow burning abilities and to provide a pleasant cool smoke.

Fleetenkieker
The inner City of Hamburg is devided by canals („Fleet“) linked to
the river Elbe. In the old days, they also served as dumps and, when
fallen dry at low tide, were frisked by rag-and-bone men kindly nicknamed
„Fleetenkiekers“. Since the 1950’s, a noble Hamburg restaurant
by the same name has finally made these men respectable.
An uncomplicated and reliable companion through your smoking
day, suitable for all pipe sizes, but best if smoked in larger bowls.
Golden brown Virginia tobacco from Zaire and Mysore cut to
different width and length, blended with a good amount of Black
Cavendish and a tiny pinch of Louisiana Perique. A gentle flavour is
added to provide a delicious sweet and soft aromatic smoke.

Hamborger Veermaster
„Blow, boys, blow!”... named after the popular Shanty song of the
„Hamborger Veermaster“ (a four-mast clipper from Hamburg).
A fine Virginia Flake in the traditional English style, just the way
sailors loved it in the old days of the windjammers: the taste of real
tobacco, not too moderate but still sweet and gentle. Slow and evenly
burning with cool smoke for a delicious rich aromatic pipeful of
pleasure. Best if smoked in smaller or medium size pipes.
