Gallaher is closing various factories in the next year(s) so I wonder if Condor is gonna get tough to find and if the UK dealers will hoard it some....

How true is this statement? Am starting to get worried I might have to do the American thing and hoard some Condor :crying:
Regards,
Jay.

Very true. I believe 2017 is the date. They made the announcement a year or two ago so there's been plenty of time to hoard.

Thanks for the link Jitter, I don't know how I missed that. Hopefully now we are (or soon will be) 'out' of Europe things might change though I shan't hold my breath.
They say production will continue albeit in Europe which offers some threads of hope.
As for hoarding, not so easy here with the prices we are charged but I shall now buy a spare along with every pouch to use now.
Regards,
Jay.

I was hoping that War Horse Green might turn out to be a good substitute for Condor but the house elves in Bethlehem P.A created a slightly different animal which I must admit I have grown very fond of along with War Horse Red. Who says you cannot teach an old dog new tricks!

It depends upon which tricks your trying to teach the old dog. They readily accept commands like laying down, sitting still, or wagging the tail, actions which they take when younger, but tricks which are refined and perfected in old age. I'm not entirely sure what I'm responding to here... it's too early for sense making. Seems GQ is learning the trick that all old dogs must learn, laying down for good :(

I couldn't find Condar Long Cut anywhere that ships to the US recently. Or Revor Plug. Anyone have a tip on where one might be able to nab 'em? Thought we had a little longer for the overseas blends...

As far as I know Mr Snuff still has it and still ships to the U.S. Take their 1 question survey and get 10% off your order.

I had this horrible feeling I should've ordered more. I've never placed an order and felt I'd ordered enough. Sad.

I got the Condor, Velvan, Warrior and McQuade plugs just to fill out the cellar. I did not realize also that the end would come so soon.
