I heard good things about Croft's #7 (now called Trafalgar, they told me), I phone-ordered a couple of ounces from Houston.
Appearance is a little intimidating -- big chunks of black pressed tobacco mixed with wild-cut mahogany-hued flakes. It took a fair amount of work to break it down to packing size. It fired up nicely, though, with thick clouds of tasty smoke. The taste is a bit like CAO's Old Ironsides, but the orientals in Trafalgar add a bit more dimension. I must have missed the perique in the mix. The flavor stayed fairly constant to the bottom, perhaps a bit more ashy-tasting at the end than I like.
It's good for a change of pace, but not likely to replace Penzance in my rotation.
