Some tobacco that im having a hard time

[pokerpipeguy]

Hey there fellas I got some pipe tobacco that I'm looking to source, and I need a bit of advice. First on the list is of course Stonehaven and Penzance, then there is J.f germains best brown flake and latakia flake.... Then Orlik dark strong Kentucky. Thanks for reading and any help is greatly appreciated

I think the Internet sells them.

Thanks Kyle, I just know sourcing this stuff is harder than Chinese arithmetic haha.

Ahh, the Stonehaven/Penzance waiting game.....

Haunt websites like a mad witchdoctor and use the phone as well. You'll get some.

The "Lil' Brown Smoke Shack" has free shipping for the holiday. I just ordered some 100 gram tins of OGS to cellar.

You'll probably not be finding Orlik dark strong Kentucky unless you get lucky and want to pay through the nose for it.
It's no longer imported into the US and one of the managers at Orlik told me that they have no plans of doing so.
Peter Heinrich Dark Strong Kentucky is very close.
Some say it's the same tobacco. I was told by the same man at Orlik that they are NOT the same tobaccos. It's close though. Real close.
If you really like the Orlik, get some of the Heinrich. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Thank you guys for your help and expertise. It's a good thing that I don't live anywhere near esotericas main shop. I'd be stepping out the back door yelling "anything!? No? okay... I'll WAIT!!!" haha

Mars has Latakia Flake, 4 Noggins and Iwan Reis have Srong Dark. Both the Germain items are not usually hard to find...look back soon. The two Esoterica items...good luck. They seem to be supplied only a couple of times a year. My advice would be to call or log on to about 5 online vendors and look for a way to put yourself on a call list. Iwan Ries does that.

My personal suggestions for online vendors with good prices and lower shipping costs are 4-Noggins, Mars & Pipes and Cigars. Other good places to look would be Smoking Pipes, Iwan Ries, Cup O' Joe's, etc.

A long standing controversy, this. Some say yea, some say no. The true story will now be unfolded at last...there is indeed a difference. The label on the tin is different. That's it.

Mars has Latakia Flake. They are out of Brown Flake, but they had it the last time I checked.
