Unlikely to Ever Get to Try Penzance

Penzance is almost always available at the market rate on Tinbids.

To this point, if OP ever gets his hands on some, he'd probably be better off reselling it and using the funds to buy a half ton of some other blend!

My thoughts as well. It’s tobacco - and no matter what - it doesn’t perform in a manner that suggests anything else. Quiet Nights is more than capable of scratching whatever itch Penzance could. In my opinion.

I have a stash of the UK variant, Special Latakia Flake, but it's quite fresh and the lat doesn't come forward until it has a couple of years on it - unfortunately, I couldn't keep away from the 6-7 year stuff I had, which was very different in that respect. Still a satisfyingly very smooth smoke when fresh, not a lat bomb though. Needs to breathe for a couple of weeks in a jar to get to that point.

Penzance is truly a nice blend, but nothing more. It is not the Holy Grail. Honestly, there are many other blends that are in the same realm - English/Scottish/Oriental that are easily as good, if not better.
I had an aged bag and traded for a pipe. Rather have a moderately nice pipe than an easily replaced pipe blend. IMHO, definitely not worth the overpriced cost from resellers.

Nothing's changed since 2021 when the thread started, in terms of folks' opinions. Do we really need more?

I've lived 57 years without it. I'm sure I can do without it for the rest of it.
