Iv`e got some seeds from a member ( Sorry can`t remember who), a few years back.
Iv`e decided to grow some more, because the taste was quite nice the first time I grew some, reminded me bit of Little Dutch, sweet and peppery.
Does anybody know the country off origin of Hue Huetenango?
It would be interesting to know.

Sounds like an interesting variety! Do you have any pictures of this plant? Did it grow well for you?

I worked at a coffee roster for a time as a student. We had a couple single origin coffees from Huehuetenango, and they were both excellent. I have no idea if that would translate into good tobacco, but I think it speaks to the agricultural techniques of the area.

Guatemala :) ok, noted :) I was not too far with Mexico :D
It sounds like a very interesting strain ("sweet and peppery"), and it's name is really nice and exotic.
