Yep - probably why that bag has been listed for a few months.

The stuff shows up in the $30/ 8oz range from time to time. (Which by the way is what Canadians pay for a 2oz tin of any regular tobacco).

Keep your eyes skinned and stay tuned to the forum. If pops up here and there.

Yeah I was lucky enough to be able to buy a bag of Penzance off of a brother here. Now just gotta find some Stonehaven.

Wish I knew if I should be wanting either of those. If it cant be found how would I ever try it. But if it is that rare maybe it is that great?

That's the whole thing isn't it? I think they are good tobaccos - the fun is finding them. Don't spend $130 though!

I did not pull the trigger because I really didn't have the disposable cash to do it - now I wish I did. Oh well, considering I still have some that is 14 years old, and only pull it out for a special treat, I am sure this will last a while. In fact, I am guessing it will not get opened for some 10 years at least.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
My local B&M gets regular shipments and the retail price is $38 plus tax. Comes out to about $43 with sales and tobacco taxes per 8oz bag. I think the price on these is only going up.

43 is quite fair considering GLP 8oz tins are 32 at smoking pipes. I'd bite at that price easily.

I do not know that it is that rare because it disappears so quickly, or if it is so rare because the production of it has tailed off quite a bit? Or, because only so much is brought into the US? Or is it rare because of a combination of them?

Because production has trailed off, and only so much is brought into the US, when it does appear, people buy and hoard whatever is available.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

If you get it for a descent price and realize you don't like it I'm sure someone else on here would buy it from you. It's great that we all like different stuff. Every tobacco appeals to someone.

Decided to stop by George's since I was doing a couple things in downtown today. Walked in, grabbed a tin of Dunhill Flake and stepped in the humidor to see what he had interesting. Grabbed a couple sticks and was about to walk out the humidor and I just happened to look to the left of the door and lo and behold, 2 bags of Penzance. Grabbed one for myself and the other for a co-worker. Twas a good day.

I've been on the prowl for pipes suitable for flake and cake tobaccos. This turned up on Smokingpipes.com



A Luciano volcano sandblast. Sweet looking pipe. I'll start breaking her in today. Thinking MacBaren Dark Fired
