I remember Douwe Egberts pipe tobacco. Never knew they were a coffee trader as well.

and I never knew they were into Tobacco. They have been into coffee for as long as I can remember.

Don't know if you guys know Senseo in the USA, but that is an invention from Philips and Douwe Egberts.

According to Wikipedia, Douwe Egberts is properly known as "Douwe Egberts Koninklijke Tabaksfabriek-Koffiebranderijen-Theehandel NV". I'll let the OranjeConnection translate if needed, but I feel Dutch and English are similar enough to pick out the important words...

Douwe Egberts Royal tobaccofactory, coffeeroaster, tea trading inc.

I knew they were involved with RYO tobacco under the name Drum, but the pipe tobacco connection is new. When Douwe Egberts got bought by Sara Lee, the tobacco part was sold to Imperial Tobacco.

I suppose back when they was still a Dutch East Indies, all companies would make all types of tobacco, coffee and tea, owning land that would be good for growing all three... just a bit of speculation, mind.

I'll keep my eyes open for some. I like most things Dutch so the coffee will probably agree with me.

Are you buying it whole bean, Peter?

Yes but only in very few places. The Iowa Meat Frms market near where I work carries it.

They only have ground, I believe.

Agree with this poster, I remember Douwe Egberts as the maker of Amphora pipe tobacco.
