SG Squadron Leader GH Dark Birdseye MacBaren Vanilla Cream (flake or mixture) Dunhill Royal Yacht MacBaren Navy Flake

Some of you guys have Penzance??? Where did you purchase it? WHERE!?!?!?!?!? Here’s my current list of top five favorites (not in any particular order): Rattray’s Hal O’ the Wynd Japanese Tobacco Inc.'s Koiki (since I can’t get it cheap from Japan anymore [I refuse to be ripped off by that one site!], I searched for an alternative brand that also offers an all natural, additives-free tobacco; and I found it in American Spirit’s Original Blend. This stuff is awesome!) McClelland’s Townsman Cavendish (Blue) McClelland’s Frog Morton Samuel Gawith’s 1792 Flake Other rotating favorites: Samuel Gawith’s Squadron Leader Captain Earle’s Ten Russians Peter Stokkebye’s Golden Dansk Butera’s Royal Vintage Sweet Cavendish Benjamin Hartwell’s Evening Stroll Dan Tobacco’s Sweet Vanilla Honeydew

@itsuke you can get penzance from 4noggins.com if you don’t mind paying 40$ for a 2oz tin. The stuff is good but not 40$ good.

University flake 1792 Louisiana flake Orlik Golden Sliced Commonwealth

The tin on 4noggins is also a consignment, and they don’t guarantee quality of the stuff inside. The prices for some of those other consignment tins is absolutely ridiculous, there are plenty of good tobaccos out there to try.

@itsuke Mayan Imports in New Orleans “had” 3 tins the other day. Strangely enough when I left they were out of stock… My favorites are quickly becoming ropes/twist. I enjoy the taste and strength. I a little goes a long way making it pretty economical even though on a per pound basis it appears to be expensive.

@MikeB. That looks like a great line up for my tastes.

$40? I’ve bought old batch Balkan Sobranie for much less…

Mr.O you are a lucky man

Here’s five that I like: Hartwell’s Evening Stroll Savinelli Aroma Glen Piper ( a good English/aromatic cross) Granger McBaren Scottish Mixture

BBF Astleys No. 44 FVF Esoterica Stonehaven C&D Opening Night

New Line up… SG Balkan Flake H&H Vintage Syrian SG Grousemoor MacBaren Mixture Flake

Luxury Bullseye Flake Luxury Twist Flake SG Navy Flake GH Bright CR Flake I need to choose one more, brb…

There are many more I want to try but currently I like BBF Stonehaven Orlik golden sliced Nightcap Dark flake

Right now: Mac Baren Old Dark Fired H&H Cerberus GLP Union Square Dunhill Flake Carter Hall

holonmax- I suppose so! The pouch is seemingly perfectly intact, the tobacco is bone-dry, but that’s to be expected I figure. For $25 I was happy!
