It’s a fiction. Made up out of whole cloth. It’s redirection from the regulars here, to keep you snipe hunting while they buy up all the Newminster 400.

THAT is one of the great mysteries of our age. Some say that it appears at night in Shangri La as the first beam of moonlight crosses where the nightingale sings, while others insist it is mined by trolls deep in the bowels of the earth and sold beyond the antipodes.
Empires have toppled from the lust for Esoterica. Men have been driven mad from the search, reduced to pitiful quaking ravaged shells of their former selves. A Sultan once offered 10,000 of his wives for a single bowl.
The most persuasive explanation I've heard is that it's a product of the multiverse and you need a trans dimensional guide to ferry you across the Great Belt of Galacticus where it forms the spiral arm of the Universal Rotator.
Hope this helps.
And P&C sends the back order email….again….again. They need a better inventory system. Those poor young gals answering the phones for 10 hours straight. “Hey boss, I sold 1,783 bags of Stonehaven.”
“Great job, keep selling. “
Oh shoot, we only received 8 bags….

I caress and fondle my bags on a regular basis so you're no help at all.
Like Scrooge McDuck diving into his money? ?
Esoterica is a myth. It only exists in the minds of ignorant newbies that haven't yet graduated from clumsy and crude latakia blends to elegant and sophisticated straight virginias. In addition to that, I bought three bags and 5 tins this morning.
You must be the guy that buys them all before I can check out!
I had several of the older (2012) rectangular tins of Penzance have loose tops. The seals failed after about five years. No jostling, no movement. Just sitting on a shelf. I quickly jarred them all.
Innocent sir. Mostly from B&Ms when in the US, the odd online grab and a fellow Canadian with a wicked stash!
Great reminder to check my square tins. I miss those old old sardine tins, those were cute!

How much Penzance does one really need? I've been working through this 2012 8oz bag for 4/5 years now.
I believe you on the Penzance…one of my least favorite Esoterica & rarely ever smoke it. Now, Dorchester, Dunbar, Tilbury…well let’s just say I’ve a few bags of each put back. ?

I actually really enjoy Penzance, love that distinct flavor, but it's just so potent! Almost like how you just use a little saffron for flavoring, I love 'diluting' Penzance with a nice va/per or aromatic burley.
That said, you're definitely right their va/per offerings are definitely much smoke-able daily. Those definitely don't last long when I crack a new tin.
For me I’m not gonna ? on Penzance like some. I still thinks it’s quality ?. The orientals are really a player for me in the blend. However, Latakia has just been turning me off lately. Enjoy your smoking day. ?
