I took a chance during the Cornell & Diehl sale at P&C and purchased 5 lbs of Star of the East. Snagged a good price with the amount purchased. I was a bit worried until I received it today. I've had 3 bowls and the tobacco is fantastic. Sweet, tangy and smokey.
I'm a bit surprised how dry it came in bulk form. It was so dry that I hardly believed each bag could be 1 pound but I weighed it and sure enough it was a bit over 1 pound in each bag.
I've read that some say it's like Penzance. I don't believe that is true. I think it's better.
A great way to finish my cellar too. I'll never need to purchase another ounce of tobacco for the rest of my life.
