Hello!
So I know it's not been seen in the wild in a long time, but I do remember liking Pelican, and was wondering if anyone knew of a good substitute/match that's similar?

Well, there's Penzance, of course it's hard to find as well. Have you tried Arrango Balkan Supreme?

I have never smoked that unobtanium blend. If you look at the reviews on TR, the reviewers that filled in the box for similar blends post their opinions at the end of their reviews, you may see some common views. www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/71/butera-pelican |

Yeah, I'm not paying $100 a tin for it. Hence, the looking for a good substitute. Would like to try a bit of Kingfisher as well, but again, not paying unobtainium pricing. I also would love a kingfisher tin as I like the color and artwork, but that's an ebay score waiting to happen.

I was about to post :
I thought Pelican was made by Germain?
But then I found this on tobaccoreviews.com:
Notes: Originally blended by J.F. Germain in UK, then by McClelland in US, then by Peter Stokkebye in Denmark. 21 October 2016 Update: J.F. Germain appears to have resumed production of this blend.
I have never tried this or Kingfisher. I had a tin of each from 2009. I was going to try it, but I my finances necessitated a sale.

Kingfisher is dead and gone. Pelican is still produced. I bought some tins from a B&M back home not too awful long ago.
Edit: to be clear, you will never, ever see Pelican in stock at an online vendor. You will have to go to an honest-to-god pipe shop to find tins.
