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.

It is the most sold coffee over here and they also sell beans, let me know if you can't find any online and I will get you some as it is pretty easy to get here like ferdinand said (every supermarket has it)
