Condor RR and the Old Tobacconists

[Gus]

sometimes going through old tobacconists brings luck, this time I found 9 pouch of Condor RR, and I did not hesitate to buy them all, discontinued in Spain since 2011/2012, so these must be about ten years old. I have already opened one and it is perfect, maybe a little dry, but nothing more, it is a tobacco that I love, I have been lucky this time.

I've always wanted to try Condor. It seems you have been lucky to find these. May they provide you with relaxation and contentment.

Seems like if days for Condor in Spain are over, and England /Ireland are remaining the only countries where one can find this 'sublime tobacco in the future

I would not be surprised if imports of British G&H and S&G tobaccies into Spain and continental EU would share the same destiny as Condor in short period of time

That would suck for everyone concerned.️

Condor has been discontinued in Spain for about 10 years, I don't remember exactly, 2011/2012.

As far as I have been able to know, the SG and G&H importer in Spain, who was the same, has prepared an order but does not import it, I guess that the change in customs or some problem has for it.

In any case, I keep buying from Synjeco in Plug the ones I like, St James Plug, which is the St James flake in plug format and also the FV Plug which is the FVF in plug.

I would only miss the BBF when I run out of the many cans I have in my cellar and the Sam's flake.

That's awesome Gus ! If the tobacco is too dry for your liking, you can always re-hydrate/light spray of distilled water. I wish it was available here !

Enjoy! Pretty cool when you find a tobacco you enjoy not made anymore. The hunt is just as fun....

Nice find brother! Condor is a great tobacco and from what I hear the older version you have was even better, enjoy

I have heard it’s not the same as the old stuff though. Is that true?

Yes, undoubtetly there is this wise speard common opinion, but unfortunately I'm not the right person to give the definitive judgement due to limited experience

Oh it tastes the same. It’s just not as aged as the old stuff.

Good to know. I’ll grab some on my next order.
