Last week someone posted some videos on YouTube of old pipe tobacco commercials. While I had seen them before they are some of my favourites and it got me thinking. I would like to try the "patron saint of pipe smokers" and I'd like to experience my very own "condor moment". So I ordered a sample of some venerable UK tobaccos that are unavailable on this side of the pond. Shipping was cheaper than order from the states and it came faster, although the tobacco prices are somewhere between US and Canadian prices.
Anyways I have a pouch of Condor Mild (or blended as it is now known), a pouch of St. Bruno and a pouch of Gold Block sitting in front of me. The St Bruno and Condor are very wet, very strong Lakeland smells to them, while the Gold Block is much drier, no Lakeland smell that I can detect and has an interesting pouch note that I just can't place my finger on. Can't wait to try them!
