Spider, I honestly don't know. Just the silver envelope with a generic sticker. Some of his varieties are in the hop union packets, but these were plain.

• secondary:
• drinking: JBA batch #2
• bottle conditioning: Best Bitter
• recent past: (AG) Rye IPA rebrew; rye saison; BCS Cal Common, Rye IPA, Tasty APA, JZ's Cowboy Altbier

Could be stuff that he bought in bulk and repacked... or they've been around since before HU started doing their packs. Either way, 4.4% doesn't make sense for CTZ...

And it just says "Columbus" not CTZ, but it's one and the same, no?

Yeah, I believe Tomahawk and Zeus are essentially 'brand names'... its like Puffs and Kleenex...

Correct, I don't believe any are labeled as 'CTZ' from the company. Some are labeled Columbus, some Zeus, some Tomahawk, but they all have the same hop inside.
