The Penzance Arrived

[greggors]

So anyone wanna sell me one of their tins? Ill pay $35 bucks for some. Stuff sounds way too tempting lol

What is a fair price for a tin of Penzance from a B&M I believe the local one has a few available for around $16 or so. Is that too high? What would be a good price?
When it is in stock, they only sell for 11.50 at my B&M so really anything more is just paying too much....when they send another decent sized shipment over here ( which they say is going to happen soon ), then that will be the selling price.
When I hit the Lottery, I WILL buy the factory in the British Isles. :mrgreen:

I'm still trying to find out how to eliminate re-lights...I just can't seem to make it without 4 or so re-lights.

now you know why people pay 70.00 a bag for it when it gets hard to find.

 

[thesmokindragon]

Funny cause I did see someone online selling for around that, normally around $34./8oz...wow!

Anytime this stuff comes in anywhere I always try and snag a bag or 2 for the cellar!

Yes it is...Cloud-9

Had my first taste this week -- thanks to the box pass.
Wonderful stuff. I think i may still prefer FMOTT, but I need anohter bowl or two to be sure.
I have a feeling Penzance would AGE like a dream.

Member rickpal4 was kind enough to send me a sample and you can add me to the "wow" camp. Wow. What an interesting smoke. I had kind of a menthol hit early, than smooth. The latakia blend is just enough to give it character. I'll definitely invest in a pouch when Faders gets a resupply. Thanks Rickpal!

I never compare one blend to another (each is fantastic to someone),

but if you like med-English blends try a sleeper : Low Country's Cooper, you won't be sorry you did... (a smokingpipes.com blend, blended by C&D)

Giving it 5-stars before and still with having tried Penzance...just a really fantastic blend

Which is available most of the time , in 2nd tins only :-(

Darn, sounds like somebody needs to put that in the Box Pass :D

 

[thesmokindragon]

Gotta get me some box pass, gotta pnd age'in for over a year, had a lil rough sharp edge on it fresh, but I like it (but still fantastic) should

be cloud-9 by now

Glad u liked!! I just had it for the first time last month and knew I had to enlighten another heathen who had never tried Penzance!!
Try Peretti's in Boston to pick some up. That is where I got mine last month and they said they had plenty, 8oz bags though....
Actually just cracked the bag open an hour ago... cellared 6oz and jarred the rest to enjoy now... have a loaded pipe ready to go after the one I am smoking now....

 

[thesmokindragon]

So to all, if Penzance is within your reach u should snag an 8oz bag or three...even if you

don't like English blends as I'm sure any one of us Penza-freaks would take it

Off ur hands
