This noob has smoked a few bowls of Penzance, and wow I love it. Now I'm sure you have gotten this question a million times. What is a readily available tobacco very similar to Penzance?
I did some research and some people say: C&D Pirate Kake, GL Pease Quet nights, Hearth & Home Larry's Blend. Also, Smokers Haven-Krumble Kake are similar and in fact esoterica modeled their tobacco after.
But it seems Smokers Haven is as elusive as Esoterica.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pirate Kake is nothing like Penzance. Quiet Nights is far better than Penzance in my mind so I would recommend starting there.

I have never smoked anything like Penzance myself I have a couple of tins of quiet nights that I haven't opened so maybe I should. But to me Penzance is a very unique experience. But maybe it's all in my head.

Wilson, how does the 10 to Midnight compare? I never bothered to get it, despite the constituents being things that I would smoke in other blends. :puffpipe:

In my opinion, no other pipe tobacco really comes close to matching Penzance. It stands alone on its very own island and is well worth the hunt.

I feel the same way, but I'm gonna give-Quiet Nights a try, 10 to Midnight, Mixture 79.
Thanks for the feed back!

Whoever suggested Mixture 79 is pulling your leg lol.

Its a heavily flavoured old-time OTC burley blend !!!
"Quiet nights" is a good suggestion.

I would also try "Gaslight"
I would have a look at the blends in tobaccoreviews.com before you buy
