My Thoughts on Penzance

[sablebrush52]

Latakia can survive for 16 years or more. But after 20 years it can become a toss of the coin. After 30 years, it's pretty much a sucker bet.

There would seem to be something of a Penzance fixation going on this month. Every day there is two or three threads working. Must be a slow news month or something.

Penzance was just available at several online retailers. Thats why.

 

[gloucesterman]

Don't you mean un-available!

 

[fitzy]

mmmmmm Penzance.
I've got some a nice stockpile.
I swear every time I take out a flake and start crumbling it up my mouth starts watering.

You're sure it's not your eyes?

Yes I'm crying with every pipeful of Penzance because I know that someday I will run out. I just hope not for a very long time.

I love Penzance. I don't think there is a better tobacco. But there are at least a half dozen or more as good.

I wouldn't object to you listing them...

I'm not sure how it is that I've not "contributed" to this P thread. I have some valuable new info on the subject which may cause everyone to rethink their stance on Penzance, a tiny piece of info that could turn the non believers into fans, info that puts this tobacco into an entirely new context, under a new light... Care to hear it? yea right.. As if there's anything new to say

You're not going to tell them about Germains and the Shroud of Turin?

Why does sablebrush52 spend so much time on this forum talking about Penzance?

Surely the Germains have finished blending that off by now?

I like Plum Pudding better. I have both.

I also like Plum Pudding more, I had a sample of about 5-6 bowls of penzance, but plum pudding I thought had the same creaminess but just more flavor for my liking.

Slow day in La La Land.

Does anybody have a horse I can beat lifeless ?

 

[iamn8]

Dave, beating horses is cruel, especially dead ones. RIP.

 

[gloucesterman]

No, but we have one that's already dead, we evidently just like beating it anyway.

Call me a heathen, but other than the presentation I prefer Margate over Penzance. Also it is readily available. I was at the local VA Clinic today and stopped by a pipe shop I had never visited. Several tins of Margate on the shelf and an 8oz bag behind the counter. I picked up a tin to replace one I recently traded away and left the others for someone else to discover. If you can't get Penzance, give Margate a try...you will not be disappointed. I still prefer the look of Penzance.

 

[sjpipesmoker]

I actually like the blend. Along with a bunch of others...except va/per, straight Virginias...those suck.
