Cascadia Pipe Co Plug Tobacco - Weezel & Condor Do a 'Top Gear' on Tobacco!!

[condorlover1]

I just received the latest Pipes and Cigar bathroom reading magazine. I happened to be rather fond of the Spillman Drive gang having met most of them in real life whilst involved with Standard Tobacco Company of PA. That being said they very rarely come up with something that catches me on my back foot! This time they have. Has anyone noticed they seem to have produced a line of hot pressed plugs, not crumble cakes, not 'blugs' but genuine plugs? I have examined the pictures, cross examined the sales agent on the phone and yes the people at STG have rebadged a bunch of plugs. I have now ordered a couple of tins of each one to take this 'Hail Mary' product on an extensive Condor/@Weezel read test, think the tobacco version of Top Gear, before sending samples to Jim Inks to find those hints of straw/rabbit farts etc. Anyone else tried this stuff?

I saw those and wondered if they were rebranded plugs or original blends. I think P&C does the rebranding thing with some Sutliff bulk blends, and I’d never heard of Cascadia before.

I did see these, I just assumed it was more of the same… crumble cakes advertised as plugs. That’s good news though, can’t ever have too many on the market.

I’m interested in seeing your thoughts on these. I want to see what @weezell thinks of these as well.

 

[condorlover1]

I have just ordered a couple of tins of each so we will let you know our thoughts. Maybe its 'Top Gear' one can always hope. For our British friends here is the 1970s children's program Rainbow talking about 'Top Gear'!

No, I haven't tried any of these. For reasons that have been discussed elsewhere.

 

[condorlover1]

@kcghost I have not seen any other comments and hence my post. Do share these other comments as I am very interested to hear.

@condorlover1 pray tell... what are these new plugs of which you speak? I'd love to see Warrior Plug come back...

 

[condorlover1]

@Mtlpiper. I have no idea what they are. If you go to the Pipes and Cigars website and search under Cascadia Pipe Co you will see what appear to be heat pressed plugs. Since they are probably from STG I am very curious to see what is going on. As soon as they arrive I will update everyone on what they taste like and if they are a true plug.

Ack P&C - they bawbags will'nae ship tae Canada. Will keep an eye out for your thoughts.

Are those made in Poland?

 

[condorlover1]

@ben88 I didn't see any mention of Keilbasa flavoring in the plugs but no doubt Jim Inks will spot that when he does get around to reviewing the product.

Condor is Polish nowadays, no?

 

[condorlover1]

Unfortunately yes!

 

[simong]

Great news & what sounds like the return of some lost favourites. Looking forward to seeing & hearing all about it. ?

 

[weezell]

Pumped up and ready... ?

Right now I am having a hot bath. I’m so excited about this thread I had to check if there were any updates.

Which classic plugs are you hoping these are?

Please say Warrior or Erinmore! ?

I for one would love to see Velvan & Erinmore Plug return. I seriously doubt that’s what these will be but I appreciate the ode to the olde world plugs.

Velvan would be great!
