Update: seems the page and ordering availability for AD was a little premature, so they disabled the page until June 29th. Anybody who ordered it already will get their order. Sorry for jumping the gun, but I was excited to see it back, and wanted to spread the word as quickly as possible. Mea Culpa.
I can't quite equate it with anything else because most OTC style blends don't use red Virginia or have a light cinnamon topping. Here's my review if it will help:
The toasted burleys offer some, uh, toast, some nuttiness along with a few minor molasses notes, and a bare hint of sour. The red Virginia has a mild tangy dark fruit sweetness, and a touch of earth in the background. The unsweetened black cavendish provides a little brown sugar that underscores the blend. I also taste light honey, and the cinnamon adds a slight, tasty spice. The nic-hit is mild. Though some prefer it dry, I do recommend you hydrate it first because it's packed very dry, and the flavors are more obvious when moistened a little. It's also slow the burn rate a mite, though you won't experience any harshness, nor will it bite. Mildly complex, it burns at a moderate pace, cool and clean with no tongue bite, and an extremely pleasant, consistent taste. Requires few relights and leaves barely any dampness in the bowl. Has a great room note, and a pleasant after taste. An easy going all day smoke.

Nothing I've come across. Was actually debating offering a bag of Penzance for an unopened tub prior to this announcement.
Just made an order to take advantage of P&C 20% off 48 hour sale. It let me buy 8 ounces so we'll see if it shows up right away.
Yep, one of my favorites. One of my Weaver pipes has been used exclusively for Angler's Dream since I first received it.
