Condor Long Cut -vs- Condor Ready Rubbed

[hawke]

I've been a fan of Condor Ready Rubbed ever since condorlover1 introduced me to it well over a year ago as I first began the pipe smoking hobby. I have never let myself run out since, sometimes holding on to 2 bowls before obtaining more. I recently ordered some more but wish I had made one of the pouches for Condor Long Cut as I really like flakes over ribbon cut or the like as a rule.
Please tell me what your experience has been if you have smoked both especially if you too cater to flakes. What differences did you notice?

Hawke, I have the RR, Long Cut and plug. I found that the long cut was more floral than the RR. Interestingly, to my scorched tongue the plug is less floral than the Long Cut. Doesn't make sense but those are my impressions.

I have found along with most flakes really ,a more intense taste & longer lasting smoke. If I had to chose between the two, St. Bruno flake, by a country mile! Sorry, couldn't resist.

I won't argue with you, simon. St. Bruno Flake delivers the goods for me as well.
