1) GH Dark Birdseye or Dark Plug, but MacBaren HH ODF will do if GH isn't stocked (they fluctuate and I don't want to miss the damn ship!)
2) A coin cut virginia/perique - ideally Cabbie's Mix but Escudo will do if nothing else is around
3)I would have said McClelland here. There was a time I would have said Dunhill nightcap or flake. There was another time I would have said plum pudding, but probably the best thing about the world ending will be that there won't be any more sutliff blends. I'm going to put Haunted Bookshop here and surprise the hell out of myself at how this list rounded out. My stash is all virginia flakes and english blends and look at what dumb me listed.

I have to say though, rereading the original post, in this reality I probably only smoke cigars - if I'm being extradited I must have already started my life of crime :wink:

When cost/availability is no issue:
Heinrich's Curly Block
Marlin Flake (my only jar is 2005, so I've never had it fresh)
Solani 656 ABF
Otherwise:
Bullseye Flake
HH Burley Flake
Haunted Bookshop/Old Dark Fired

@PaulG, haha, I always knew you had good taste! I didn’t realize how similar ours was though. I could also add Dark Birds Eye to the list!
So, you're starting out with the new version of Condor, which has been said to taste like sucking pigeon farts straight from the bird's ass, by many devout fans of Condor. I kind of like the new, but I really liked the original better. It had more of a suntan lotion aroma to it.
If you like Condor, you should try the new War Horse Green and Red, and you'll definitely want to give Peterson's 3P plug a try.
