What’s Happened To Condor RR

[oldmansmoking]

I have always loved Condor ready rubbed, the green packet.
I thought the pine, soap flavour was great.
My new pouches have lost a lot of that flavour, are the producers catering to more mass markets? Don’t get me wrong it’s still the best over the counter tobacco.
But does it live up to The Condor Moment?

There’s another thread lamenting the demise of Condor following the move to Poland to produce the blend.

jiminks downgraded his review and condorlover is suicidal over it.

I’m afraid it’s the end for Condor moments.

The new long cut is terrible...yes, the Condor Moment is over and done with...unfortunately.

They ruined Condor. The plug tastes like parrot droppings with the aftertaste of sucking farts out of a Swan. The RR is flacid and cut way too fine with the consistency of RYO tobacco. The topping or sauce has been heavily watered down. The only way to make the plug smokeable is mix it either with Grasmere Flake or Warrior otherwise its totally vile.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Like I said, Condorlover isn’t impressed

I'm not sure if I've ever tried the old version, but I'm smoking the Long Cut (flakes) purchased last year and they're fantastic.

I have a parrot but, I've never thought of eating her droppings just to compare to a tobacco blend. You're a better man than I am.

The swan farts ... did you just hold 'em up by the wings, close to yer nose, until they pass gas? I bet that left a lot of welts!

I am always at the number of members eating lighter fluid, parrot crap, skunk piss and what have you so as to be able to make great comparisons. Hats off to all of you crap eaters!

I've just acquired a few pouches of Irish made LC and RR. I'll probably never smoke them but keep them with the knowledge that they're there and that I can have them when I want to. After I'm dead and gone, my kids can give them to someone else to enjoy the same way. Pass it on! ?

I bought Condor RR in Spain two years ago and i like it. To me it has a cigar-ish taste

Warren you are a man after my own heart. That just made me spray coffee all over the computer +100. What's your parrots name?

So, I take it that you don't like it so much.....

Nope. This is the oldest trick in the book - trying to throw us off the trail. I'm not falling for it and just pulled the trigger on 5 pounds.

Want to cost average down on that? I can sell you 5 pounds of giraffe shit and when dried out it will taste better and improve the room note!

Not on its own anymore. Its just lost its Je ne sais quoi as the Germans say!

 

[verporchting]

Is said giraffe of the Saharan Vintage Tallboy family or are we talking the lesser known Venezuelan Ringnecked Whooping Giraffe family?

Because their turds age differently. Or so I’ve been told.

Never smoked it, but I have certainly heard the legend. People always wonder about sourcing tobacco when a blend moves its workshops and changes its personnel, but the same question hovers over flavorings with aromatics. The recipe is one thing, but the source of the flavoring ingredients is as important. Different? Oh yes.

One day Mc Barens or STG, may take over the productions of Condor* ,and possibly things will start looking brighter then,who knows,,
