Just discovered Penzance

[Benzadmiral]

I’ll send you a sample with the pipe rack so you can see what the hype is about. Or decide it’s not for you and you can save yourself from chasing it.

Hirsute, that sounds great, but please make sure you have plenty left for yourself!

 

[Mr. Shavington]

Not that I'm going to compete with any of you to find some of this stuff. But what is it *like* to smoke? The listing on Tobaccopipes says, "This heavily guarded secret recipe includes certain variations of Virginia, and a precise addition of Latakia, Turkish, and other Oriental tobacco." Is it something like other Englishes like Squadron Leader?

Yes, Penzance is an “English” blend. Anything with latakia will have this characteristic bonfire kind of scent. People around you will think there is a fire. But it is marvellous.

The cellar is deep and wide, and I have more than enough to share.

I REALLY like Penzance and I'm glad I cellared some pounds when I could get it. It is getting even harder to aquire these days.

Do pirates smoke Penzance?

Do pirates smoke Penzance?

It’s Twists and Ropes for those Scallywags not such a refined blend as Penzance.

Do pirates smoke Penzance?

They absolutely do when they can find it. But the supply chain issues have reared their ugly heads even to pirate tobacco. Now they're lucky if they can find Captain Black Royal.
