For Herb's puzzle, are they all cities?

Streif is the confusing one...

Prince Herb


Ranma_007

Are they all brands of snuff? ^_^

Prince Herb


Carthrat

Are they all made-up? >_>
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?
[19:14] <Candide> My brain caught up

Prince Herb

Definitley not ; all historically verifiable.

Rakhal

Looks like Herb's puzzle foxed everyone :)

The answer to the four parts were
Marengo (Chicken Marengo)
Copenhagen
Comanche
and Streif

And what links them together is that they are all famous horses!
Marengo was Napoleons horse
Copenhagen was the Duke of Wellington's horse
Comanche was Captain Miles W. Keogh's horse (the only survivor of Custers Last Stand)
and Streif was Gustav Adolphus's horse

More cheesecake for me :)
