I opened a new bag of Penzance tonight and took a quick sniff of the inside of the bag, then decided to savor the aroma of the inside of a fresh bag. It was like sniffing a rich, luxurious herb reserved only for Kings.

A 8oz bag fills up the glass container I use for storage ( found it at Goodwill ).

And my Peterson Kinsale XL23 is packed and awaiting the nightly ritual for meditation and relaxation.

It's a satisfying feeling finding your favorite blend and anticipating the next bowl of it. :)

Absolutely! Especially when its been in the cellar awhile, with bloom. To me, a luscious fruity fragrance.

Agreement 100%. I am finishing a bowl right at this moment. Penzance is my last smoke of the evening, every evening before a night of good sleep and pleasant dreams. The aroma fills my beard with happiness.

I feel your pain weezell, I've been looking for awhile and can't get my hands on any. However, due to my above post, I worked out a trade with another member that isn't so fond. Why don't you bump the "have a blend you would like to try" thread and offer somethin up in exchange for some of this elusive leaf. Or heck, just start a new thread.

The irony here is that one of the local B&Ms near me has about 20 tins of Penzance sitting on his shelf with an inch of dust on them!
The next time I make a trip there to stock up on tobacco, I'll buy a few of the tins and dedicate a couple of them as "sample" tins for forum members who want to try Penzance but have not the good fortune to do so. :puffy:

@hobie1dog..I won't ask for a sample, another kind member mailed me one this morning, but my Que@tion to you is since you're the penzaholic..where do you get the stuff? Are you on some special list? Do have insider info?.. :puffpipe:

It was available all over the internet for several weeks until a week or so ago. There is still some out there if you search. I know of two places that have it on the net now.

Rock is correct, as you have to go online and find out the names of places who normally stock it, then you have to call all of them on your list every week. As they all receive one bag or ten, every month, so you have to just bug the hell out of them . One place to call each week is Iwan Reis, they usually get some in every month.
As a side note, I counted how many bowls you can get out of an 8oz bag, in my Peterson Kinsale XL23........76 :clap:
