I am usually out of luck when I try to find some, but I was able to get myself a tin. Woot! :

Edited to add a big thanks!

It was pulled after they sold out.
Pipes and Cigars had some inventory earlier in the day, but it was sold out by the time I went there.
Joe's still had some when I checked them. I spread the word here.
Lot's of pipers would like to try these two blends, but catching them in stock is tricky.
I've smoked Penzance for a long time, but I've never tried Stonehaven.
I'm looking forward to sampling it.

I have a bag of their Carmel Crunch coffee, my wife friggin loves it.
Its too sweet for me, but I like it from time to time.
Tastes just like Cracker Jack in a coffee cup
The Deadmans Reach is a pretty good blend they carry too.

I'm glad you guys got a chance at it. I expect a cut and I usually operate at 2% of your total order. :nana:
I have to believe Smokingpipes.com and others have a shipment in as well...Joes and P&C aren't exclusive receivers of this stuff. I bet there will be more available next week from someone else.
Both blends are good as are many other Esoterica blends....but the scarcity has pushed Penzance and Stonehaven into some kind of mythical status and its nice to see guys get a shot at it that want to try it.
I have a pound and a half of Penzance in the vault, but I've always been shut out of Stonehaven orders. I finally scored some!

tonypuff,
I've started to find that HYPE is exactly what it is. Some blends are great that receive little or no attention and others are just fair that everyone is looking for. There are many blends out there that share this problem, not just the Esoterica blends. Samuel Gawith blends share this honor. I feel that many people who truly LOVE Penzance hoard it making it seem like it is the end-all be-all blend to those who have never tried it. It was a good English in my mind, but I think there are better blends that are far more available. Obviously, this is only my opinion and many here will disagree with my opinion on this blend. So it really is a case of, "One man's junk is another man's treasure." Had I had the funds for anything right now, I'd have gotten some Pembroke to try as well as some other blends (my to-try list is so long already and it never gets smaller) from other vendors (Hearth & Home Black House anyone?). Anyway, I guess I'm saying that you may find that you're not missing much in the end.

Cyndi and I just tried Solani Gold Label English Luxury Blend 779 and holy smokes, that's a great tobak! I like that better than I do Dunhill 965. Also, I should mention that this tin has been aged awhile. I'm just not sure how long.
I found some more Stonehaven at http://shop.libertytobacco.com/Default.aspx After our recent run ins with bogus sites, I am hesitant to order from here, but I am really wanting to try StoneHaven. Anyone ever order from this site?
