OMG, that is a great looking pipe
I think that why I like Penzance is why I like DE Meat Pie- the orientals.No there is nothing like it. This why Brian gave you the samples for free. The first hit is always free, soon you will be out stealing hubcaps while Brian stands on a corner in a trench coat with bags of Penzance and Stonehaven taped inside. Sometimes he operates out of the trunk of a 69 Buick Electra.
I think it is due to the Orientals. I know I owe you a sample, and will get it out soon.I have no first-hand experience, but I have seen it stated by a certified Penzance junkie that Drew Estate Meat Pie is similar and "almost" as good.
Just be the guy you are, Andrew. Life can be tough, and when the going gets tough kids appreciate those who are strong.What a day! The little girl who I am tutoring in Japanese has been having some major misfortunes. Her father's business literally burned to the ground. He raised cattle and the barn caught fire and now he's out of a job with no insurance on the barn and has to pay for the disposal of over 10 dead cows to be transported to Aomori Prefecture(over 200 miles away)
Needless to say she's in pieces after being traumatized seeing and hearing that ( barn was next to her house) but thankfully nobody was hurt.
So lessons are on hold and I'm going to be her psychologist for the next couple of weeks because no one aside from her mother can speak Spanish.

Managed to finish lesson plans for the AM classes tomorrow and am putting down some glasses of shochu puffing on some SOTE bulk in a Ciro reverse calabash morta.
I would be the guilty party. Your assessment is right on target. It reminds me of why i love Penzance, and is available enough for daily smokingDE Meatpie in a Peterson's Rocky bent bulldog.
Someone here said they heard that Meatpie might be close to Penzance. The Meatpie is more like Penzance's kid brother. While it has some of the characteristics of Penzance, it does not have quite the amount of Orientals, nor the strength. It is a mild and easy smoke with good flavor, though. Penzance is in a class by itself.
Owen, hope I didn't make you feel guilty. You were only passing on what you heard., and it made me want to make the comparison. I agree with you on your reasons for why to smoke both. Right now I'm smoking DE's Grand Central. A mild Aro that is quite good. Very nice for a change of pace.I would be the guilty party. Your assessment is right on target.

That Chenet's Cake get much better with age. Even six months will be noticeable. I didn't think it was tops until I revisited it six months after the first bowl.
