***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***

[warren99]

Going to light up Esoterica Penzance (2021) in a Peterson 307P System 0 Bent Billiard—this wonderful gift was made in England sometime between 1937 and 1958 (when the "0" was dropped).

Penzance is one of my favorite blends, with ample potions of Latakia. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find it for several years. I used to buy it in 8 ounce bags but can’t even find it in 50 gram tins any more. Any information you may have on where it can be found would be greatly appreciated.

There are members that post various Esoterica blends here in the Tobacco Sell/Swap/Search section—don't expect MSRP—sometimes you just have to pony up the going rate in the second hand market if you want something badly enough. If you check Brick and Mortar shops when there are drops, you might score bags or tins at normal retail.

Just finished smoking year 2013 Capstan Gold in a straight black 1932 Dunhill R double patent shell pot with a vernon tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Cleaned some pipes, fed Suzy and Molly, plus two ferals as well.

Last smoke of the day (probably) is C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 billiard with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
