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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Ditto

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Picked up a couple pipes this week. First one is a Boswell Volcano Sitter and the second one is a Dagner Pipes Hooligan.

Those are pretty :tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Great pick-ups Steve, both look great.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice pick up Neil :tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Looking good!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

My order came in with Barbary Coast x2, 100g Hal 'o the Wynd, Germain Plum Cake, and a small OGS as well as a new Sav Porto Cervo full bent. I'll try to get a pic later.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Great looking pipes Steve and Neil:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Yeah, I'm gonna have to second that; they are sweet!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Couple of rare birds showed up from 4noggins:

A Chacom "Elite' zulu. Part of my flake pipe endeavors. Along with some 1792.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

What is it that makes a pipe better for certain tobacco types?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

The bowl is tapered, which allegedly allows for a folded flake to be stuffed in and burn easily without rubbing it out. So far my baby Dunhill bulldog handles flakes the best, and it isn't tapered.

I've had limited success so far, with the bowl getting nasty hot. Not sure if it is a lower quality briar, thin wall, or hot burning Virginia tobacco.

My quest continues.....

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I hope it works out for you. :tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Couldn't pas this up at the local B&M at lunch yesterday. Only 4 bucks, and perfect for a quick lunchtime smoke.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Very nice Kevin :tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

My order arrived yesterday from 4 Noggins; 8oz of John Patton's "Storm Front" and 2 tin's of McClelland's CPCC Samovar (Club Blend for the Chicagoland Pipe Collector's Club)...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice pickups Mark.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Let me know your thoughts on the Samovar Mark. I'm thinking of grabbing some McC Smyrna #1 and GLP Embarcadero now that the Oriental bug has bitten.
I have an unwrapped box at home that should contain 2 tins of Escudo and a tin of Dan Tobacco's Gordan Pym. 4pm cannot come quick enough.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

A Nording Eriksen keystone pipe, the keystones that came with the pipe, and some Gawith & Hoggarth Sweet Coconut Twist. Happy Father's day from myself!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

What are the silver things in the baggies?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Tobacco moisteners.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

My tobacco comes to me wet and then the humidity here at 90* adds to it! I put some in the fridge overnight to dry it out!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I've been trying to post my pipe picture for awhile now, finally had the opportunity this morning.

I'd like to thank nutcracker for his generous pipe tobacco sampler he sent with his hockey pool cigars.

I can't take credit for the pipes, my lovely spouse purchased all of them for me.

The pipe stand was purchased at an antique store in Comfort, TX during my visit attending my brother's wedding. They had several different styles to choose from, I don't know how old it is, but it was well worth the $40, ditto again to my spouse, she wouldn't leave without it.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

That's a nice start! Looks like you have a nice variety of good leaves too.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

nice haul, I too have been on the receiving end of Neil's shipments, great guy!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

To many choices and not enough time. When Neil said he'd send some samples my way, I thought wonderful 3 or 4 different varieties from someone with more experience, I wasn't ready for the nearly dozen samples he sent. I wish I were home more often.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Picked up a couple tins at a local B&M

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...708_162516.jpg

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I agree. That is a great start-up package from Neil and the wife:tu


Great pick-ups Matt!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I took advantage of (or got taken advantage of by) the P&C Stokkebye bulk sale...

1.5 lbs LNF, 1.5 lbs LBF, 1 lb of Luxury Twist, four oz. Chatham manor to try and a couple of Dunhill tins I can't find locally.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nicely done!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Stocking up Jerry??? Online sales are great:D

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Picked up another 8 oz. bag of Stonehaven at the local shop. I love that blend. Such a smooth, silky, enjoyable smoke.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Received this in the mail yesterday: 8oz of L.J. Peretti Blend #333, new blend from P&C H&H Signature Delta Days, and an 8oz tin of H&H Anniversary Kake. The Blend #333 and Delta Days will be transferred to Mason jars, and the Anni Kake will simply be dated and set aside for future use (I already have two Mason jars of Anni Kake sitting)...
