After doing some research online, I don't really see a difference in them. They are both very little/not refined at all and are evaporated can juice. Also, IMO, Piloncillo tastes nothing like brown sugar.
Thoughts?

I saw that after I replied lol. I'm actually using some panela right now with my coffee but for just one lbs is ridiculously pricedWelcome to HBT!
Unfortunately, @McboBrewer hasn't been active here in about 10 years.
Amazon has lots of options for piloncillo. Never used it, but I've brewed a beer (tropical stout) with Indian jaggery, which is similar. I've also used muscovado sugar for bottle-priming a few times. Adds a subtle dimension to the beer.

I'll have to find one of those grocery stores, thank youUnfortunately, none of those sugars are going to be cheap. You can expect ~$10-15/lb. You might have some luck if there's a Mexican or Indian grocery near you. If turbinado sugar will work for you, Sugar in the Raw is fairly cheap at most supermarkets.
