I like Penzance, and buy it when it's available from retailers. Pembroke is at the top of the heap for me, but I only buy it when it drops...
As far as English type blends go, I like them on occasion, and there literally hundreds of blends out there. And I prefer to smoke them when they have a few years of age on them.

... So another Esoterica thread, with a deceptively non-Esoterica title.
Riff is OK. But it pales in comparison to Carter Hall in a hand poured gold seven pointed star Pipe by Lee...
The title of the thread should read:
"Battle of the Blends: Jersey vs Seattle"

Not bad, especially the bourbon.
Not enough sage to burn to purify that one.
When I smoked English blends I enjoyed Penanx\ce but I also really enjoyed Two Friends Deacons Donfall just as much. It was made by GL Pease and Craig Tarlar from C&D. It is always in stick and you should grab a 2 ounce tin. Very complex . I would use a large Castello or something similar. you may find your self not bothering with Penzance ever again.
While taste is highly subjective, I have to disagree. I like it, a lot, and enjoy it for what it is. i stocked up prior to the tulip mania, and still enjoy it, no matter what the imbeciles who pay through the noe may say or do.
Who makes LJ Peretti's Royal?
While I enjoy many of the GL Pease branded blends, it should be noted that he doesn't make any of these.
I've probably been smoking too long. It doesn't distinguish itself enough from the myriad of other latakia blends.
All I can find is manufactured by LJ Peretti.
The Two Friend's blends were created by Pease and Tarler.
I don't think I have ever smoked the stuff. Apparently Hitler went crazy when Smoking Pipes sold out.....

L.J. PERETTI TOBACCO - L.J. Peretti
For over four generations, the Peretti blenders have created world-renowned tobaccos. Before Dunhill, Rattray or Fribourg and Treyer, we were experimenting in refining the measured techniques of blending tobacco. Many variations, often over a period of years, have resulted in the Peretti blends...

Speaking of Peretti, anyone have experience with their Virginias?
Was also intrigued by Tashkent despite not being a big fan of English blends.

Do you prefer Royal blend or Omega? Looks like the place to purchase is directly from LJ?
In my humble opinion, Penzance is to pipe tobacco what OBJ is to the NFL... overhyped, overpriced and underperforming.
Yes, I said it. No, I didn't stutter.
