Seems I've got TAD Too. How Long Does Penzance Keep?

jmatt · Oct 22, 2014

Scored FOUR 8 ounce sealed bags of Penzance today. Are the sealed Esoterica bags good for long term storage?
So in the past 5 days I've scored 6 tins of Balkan Sobranie, Two 2 ounce tins of Esoterica Margate, and now 2 POUNDS of Penzance. That should hold for.......a week?
I'm gonna need a 12 step program.

WHERE did you find four bags of Penzance?

jmatt:
The sealed Esoterica bags are NOT good for storage, and the tobacco inside is most probably now toxic and extremely hazardous. If you will forward it to me, then I will properly dispose of it for you! No charge, of course, just a simple courtesy (and possible life-saving offer) from one pipe-man to another.

I picked it up from a B&M. I actually talked to the U.S. distributor for J.F. Germain. He said they haven't had Penzanze in the 2 ounce tins to distribute to anyone since November 2013. He did say they've received some for distribution in the 8 ounce bags maybe twice this year. He thought the only/best way to find any was at B&M shops.
I'm not sure if I'm going to open a bag or cellar all four for a while. I've got about three pounds of tobacco "open" representing 15 different blends. With this purchase my cellar is about 13 pounds.
