Just received some Penzance from Whistlebritches. Smoked it twice and it is without question, the finest pipe tobacco I have ever smoked. If you don't like Latakia, you would not like ot as it is heavily laden with it. It is really worth every penny of what they ask for it. Angel

^ my thoughts exactly. It is worth the $35 per bag that it retails for, not the $100+ I have seen it go for. I love a good English blend and Penzance is one of my favorites but I would never pay that price.

Pretty sure QM is talking MSRP.The crazy aftermarket prices I see are so overinflated it's almost laughable.

You're absolutely righ. It's the old law of supply and demand. By keeping the supply dow, they can always get more money for a wanted product.

Well supply and demand with hype.

Yes it is an excellent tobacco, retail is still $70/lbs.....

I think it's awesome and I'm thankful I have a bag cellered, but that's 2 pounds of PS Luxury Twist flake.

Some would think......I'm not a latakia fan.

My Opus X in Baccy would be Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls.Much easier to obtain and way more affordable.
