When I first tried this a few months ago I thought it was OK. It was rather moist and much milder than the other reviewers had led me to expect. A few months later my tin had dried out significantly. The tobacco crumbled to a powder. I packed the pipe and lit the bowl. BIG MISTAKE! This stuff was putrid. It tasted like Cepacol sore throat spray and even had the same numbing effect on my mouth! I almost gagged. I tried to persevere figuring it would settle down a bit, but I was wrong. After a third of a bowl I had to stop. What's more, it flavored my pipe like Cepacol. The next day I tried smoking some Solani Silver Flake in it but all I could taste was the putrid Penzance. I had to take immediate action to rid my pipe of the resididual effects left by Penzance. For you guys who love this stuff, "Seek professional help before you hurt yourselves or someone you love."
