Welcome from Michigan! I’m originally from SEA and have always been curious about how pipe smoking is there.
Happy to have you here, friend!
no sir not yet. i heard that its so strong, like getting punched by mike tyson. we do have various tobacco here but mostly bought by cigarette factories..some are for RYO/shag cigarettes, cigars, and only very little made for local pipe tobacco. Some folks started making artisan pipe tobacco (mixed, pressed into flakes) but pretty much small quantities.
some high quality specific tobaccos are exported, from dutch colonial days up to now. like Sumatra Deli.
this one below is from west java area, near bandung..local seeds, on the hills around 500-600m asl. sliced thin for ryo shag. mostly sold unprocessed to local factories, who add some toppings then packed and sold.

not quite sure how it was processed and packed with the rope, but it is also used to make cigars. some serious stuff.
Welcome to the forum from Kansas in the USA!! Remember to not pack your pipe so tightly and slow down the pace of your puffing.
It's an American Indian name perhaps from the Quinnepiac tribe. Quinnetukqut means near the flowing river, that river being the Connecticut river. The Quinnepiac are from where modern day New Haven is located.
