Disaster! Condor Factory Closes in Ireland!

Separate sentences, with a space in-between. Second sentence addresses Darwin.

Well, of course that is not true (facts are just such a bother for the BBC), but it will be, soon.
@Darin (sic), Orlick is an STG brand, and is made in Denmark. Mac Baren is also made in Denmark.

Evidently the news of Condor's demise has not caused a run on it. I placed an order from Mr Snuff yesterday, they had 14 left. Today, 24 hours later they still have 14 left.

I would like to order and try some, but I think my wife would get me. I'm not a connoisseur of tobacco, so I couldn't afford it.

 

[james80]

@ jitterbug - that's because despite a small cult following in the U.S the stuff is muck.
In the UK this is an old codger blend.

 

[jitterbugdude]

Well dam, call me an old codger then!

 

[james80]

Smoke carbolic soap and you will get the picture

Heading home to the UK at the end of the month. Better get me some more just in case.

CondorMan, does this mean you may be in the market for the new "VaPro" blends soon?
VaPro: A new tobacco blend now being developed due to the recent news about Condor Tobacco Products. Ingredients include Virginia tobaccos licorice casings and Prozac.
Did I really make fun of the CondorMan's future retirement job prospect? WOW. Im bad... hide Hawke, Hide!

 

[condorlover1]

:rofl: Hawke you are truly priceless at times. I was thinking something along the lines of a bar of nicotine with the option of a few tobacco leaves to add a little flavor combined with a couple of tractor inner tubes.

 

[condorlover1]

@James80…… old codger blend! It is the greatest tobacco ever manufactured. If God smoked he would smoke Condor!

 

[woodsroad]

Simon, that's a fantastic idea!

There's a business opportunity here, and I know the guys that can make it happen

Now that's one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time!.. mainly because it is true!

I'm bumping this thread because I have been notified that J. Fox no longer carries Condor Plug or the RR. It has been taken off both the J Fox website and the PipeDivan site. What a shame! I have written J Fox but have yet to get a reply from them. Anyone know anything about this?
Peterson's site still has the plug listed but it shows 'out of stock'

 

[jpmcwjr]

More crap news, though: Perhaps Simon has it all in a giant warehouse?

 

[mayfair70]

THAT'S IT!!!!
I'm swimming over there and straightening this crap out once and for all!!

 

[papipeguy]

I still have a small stash of Condor plug, maybe 8 packs. James Fox still lists Mick Mc Quaid and Yachtsman plugs. I thought Mick Mc Quaid was a goner too with only Yachtsman surviving. Both are made by STG.

 

[josephcross]

Is there much difference in flavour between Plug form and Long Cut, or even RR?

 

[jakecobb]

We all need to stage a smoke-in or something. Didn't the american revolution start over a tea tax!? What happened to the whole "no taxation without representation" thing? I don't feel properly represented.

"Peterson's site still has the plug listed but it shows 'out of stock'"
Likely David (Oldreddog) scooped up the lot and good luck to him :wink:
"Is there much difference in flavour between Plug form and Long Cut, or even RR?"
Joseph, the intensity of the flavour climbs from the Ready Rubbed to the Long Cut to the Plug version. The latter being by far the best of the three. However I generally have to make do with the Long Cut (flake) which is a popular OTC over here.

Jay.

They all taste like Condor but their is a depth to a Plug that is hard to explain, and one can only find this kind of "depth" in a plug. Condor Long Cut will do but it's probably only a matter of time before that goes bye bye with no fair warning too.

Luckily I had feared this was coming and bought a whole bunch of the plugs a few months ago. It's just sad to see them taken off the market in Ireland of all places. The Long Cut and RR can still be found on the English market, but for how long?
