A lot of these hard to find blends you dont find, they find you. I was lucky to find 4 tins of 2006 Penzance at a lotto store sitting dusty on a shelf. And after smoking numerous bowls of it, it is 100% the most over rated blend ever. I could not find anything unique about it. It was just a sweet smoky Lat blend, and if thats what your looking for, Lancers Slices is far better.

 

[craiginthecorn]

Lancer Slices has been unavailable for months, too.

 

[ben88]

If someone wants to trade fo LC))))

Just out of curiosity, why would you trade Lancers for Penzance? Have you ever smoked it before? If you have, what specific flavor are you tasting on your pallet that's different or better? Maybe i can take your thoughts on differences and smoke those 2 blends back to back, and see if i can taste it too.
If your looking to trade, because you have never smoked it before, and want to see for yourself, i would totally understand. I would trade to.
I am not saying it was a bad smoke in anyway. I like sweet smoky flavors. Again im just curious as to your reason, to trade. And if you have 3 pounds of Lancers, i will gladly trade my 50gram tin of 2006 Penzance.

I’ve missed everything this drop. I’ll keep looking for the stuff not available last drop.

3 pounds of Lancers, i will gladly trade my 50gram tin of 2006 Penzance.

[craiginthecorn]

Ha ha. Lancer Slices in stock at SP.

Yep...I did get a Email Alert...Never tired it..ordered 8oz...And I see it's selling.

 

[cigrmaster]

I have placed a number of orders with 4noggins since Rich sold the business and every time my order was packed properly and shipped quickly. I will continue to use them when they have something I want.

IMHOP, lancer slices are much better than Penzance for my tastes. I have about 4 or 5 pounds of Penzance in the cellar, but instead I just ordered 5 more 500g bags of Lancer Slices. Just over all better flavor for my pallet. Maybe one day I'll auction the Penzance off when I need a new truck.

Lancer didnt grab me right away so I am cellaring. I did find Star of the East Flake better than Penzance however.

 

[ben88]

In the end - Bengals are the best!

 

[kola]

Star of the East Flake. I was really hoping it would be a close match to Penzance but it was not even close..to my taste buds a least. Nor is Lancers. More for you guys.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I can see the comparison with Star of the East but it lacks the creaminess and depth that Penzance has. Never tried Lancers but did place an order for 8 oz. At $20 and change, why not?

For the people that ordered and trying Lancers for the first time, be prepared to get your mind blown, and be sure to update your thoughts.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. you meant to say it's rotten, never order it; you'll hate it.

 

[craiginthecorn]

I like both Penzance and Lancer Slices, but I don't really consider them to be all that similar. Unlike Penzance, Lancer Slices has no Oriental tobaccos apart from the constituent leaves of the Latakia,

 

[foursidedtriangle]

Star of the east is something I will cellar and reopen a year later. It is too harsh currently but man does it smell good.

Wonder how laughable it would be in a year if your local B&M closed tomorrow? And how laughable would it be if internet tobacco sales were banned at the same time? And will you be lmao if tariffs and taxation drive a 50 gr tin of pipe tobacco to $25 plus? I hope for everyone's sake, including mine, these things don't happen. Many of us don't have the luxury of a well stocked local B&M. To put it into perspective, I'll bet I have more tobacco on the shelf than any B&M in the state of Indiana.

Duly noted, and I meant no disrespect to those hoarding. I have a small "cellar" myself from smoking pipes over 20-years, but I personally choose to be proactive in making sure those doomsday scenarios never occur. Support your local B&M, make connections and be involved. Don't have a local B&M? Well then, maybe that's just the opportunity to open one!
A small "tobacco" shop opened in my town of 1,200 people recently. Nothing but vape stuff, RYO, cigarette cartons and misc trinkets. So, last week I introduced myself as a local pipe smoker, spoke at some length with the owner (who was very interested and quite frankly going into this blindly with no knowledge of pipe smoking). I pointed them in the Arango direction. Yesterday there's three different Wessex blends on the shelf, all of which are "currently unavailable" online.
