Description

    8 oz. package of Penzance mottled flake by Esoterica/Germaine. According to the original buyer, purchased in the mid-1990s. Unopened and in factory sealed clear sleeve, still feels soft when pressed. A super rare find of this age. This came from the same collection of well stored tobacco I've been selling here on TB since December '25. I've searched 36 pages of sold Penzance auctions here on TB and not one like this.

    Penzance description from the internet:
    Esoterica Tobacciana's Penzance is the most sought-after pipe tobacco worldwide. Penzance is an English crumble flake pipe tobacco, widely revered for its complex, medium-to-full-bodied, and creamy flavor profile. In your pipe, you will taste notes of earth, wood, and leather, while a subtle, dark, fruity sweetness blooms on your palate from the Virginias. The oriental leaf will add a distinctive dash of tang, spice and nutty character.
