Esoterica - Penzance 2oz
How to find but worth it.
I found an 8 ounce jar of this in the back of one of my storage cabinets bought it in 2008. The lid on the container was bulging I know it’s been in there a long time and once I opened it and smelled it I was like holy smokes! So I loaded it up in a pipe and tried it and it was marvelous definitely one of the best Packers I’ve ever had. I am not really a lot of Chi lover but this one seem to mellow out over the years to make it absolutely incredible. just one of those just gets better with age. Not gonna try and find anymore probably wouldn’t be able to do it anyway so I am going to enjoy what I have and that’s that.

Sutliff - Troost Match
One of my first tobaccos.
One of my first tobaccos. I first tried this tobacco back in the 70s when I first started smoking a pipe. Took me a while to learn how to smoke it without it biting me too much. When I finally learned how to smoke it I fell in love with that flavor profile and room note. Still have some of the old stuff but on occasion I smoke the new. Suiliff did a good job with the match.
