"He's probably talking about War Horse Green?"
So War Horse Green is akin to Condor? Really? WOW. I believe I have a tin of each War Horse coming my way so that doubles the excitement :puffy:
"Trigger Warnings are what they scroll across the TV or Professors have to give to students before talking about rape, violence, eating meat, science, The Iron Bowl, or anything really that will trigger a deep overwhelming emotional response."
Oh. I personally see nothing to get 'overwhelmingly emotional' about in regards to smoking dry tobacco but I suppose it takes all sorts :roll:

I have had guys go as far as to send me sample of tobacco with a note that I was to try smoking the included tobacco without drying to prove some point about moist tobaccos being the way the manufacturer intended. And, in some threads it has led to name calling, etc... so, thus the warning. Not everyone whop prefers moist, but a select few.
No, War Horse Green is nothing like Condor. IMO. Not even close. War Horse Green is a Vanilla-y, liquorish, almondy-like flavor.

To the OP's nod, this just happened to me. I cut some G&H Black Irish X on Friday, and intended to let it air in a breathing jar while I enjoyed some War Horse ready cut, and clean forgot about it until this very morning. It wasn't bone dry, but certainly much moreso than fresh cut. I dare say this will be one of my two approaches to this tobacco. (The other being 'cut a section to fit a short bowl, poke it through a few times, and fire.)

"Dunhill seems to not have any trouble with that. I've yet to open a tin of their blends where I felt it needed any drying time."
Shutterbugg, I have to wholeheartedly agree with that statement but the only drawback is that the tin has to be smoked PDQ else it dries up far too quickly.
As soon as I open a tin I dump the tobacco into a bail-top glass jar w/silicone seal. Maintains the tin moisture till it's gone, even if it takes me a month or more.
