After the production of "Condor" moved to Poland I basically wrote off the blend, especially given all the glum reviews. But then I read better, and I'm wondering what you re smoking these days, if you're smoking anything at all?
@saltedplug I still smoke Condor Plug since I have a large stash of several pounds pre-Poland Gallaghers Plugs which keeps both myself and Weezell ticking over. Likewise I have large amounts of Warrior Plug, Mick McQuaid Plug and Velvan. By interspersing these with Bosuns Plug, Grassmere, Constiston CP and several Gawith & Hoggarth twist tobaccos I find I am able to survive the loss of manufacturing of these iconic plugs as well as carry on smoking well into my 80s assuming I live that long at my current rate.

Good Morning everyone. Apart from it being Monday it looks to be another fine day in Florida. I have been up since 4.30 working and smoked my first bowl of brown twist for the day in the usual shape of pipe. I am currently having a mug of coffee delivered by one of these new fangled Keurig coffee makers. I must say they are very clever and the Germans must have invented them but I don't see the cost effectiveness of the things. I also take issue with a coffee 'pod' that resembles a shrunken yogurt container. Some things just do not improve the world for the better. Have a good day everyone.

Cowra, New South Wales, Australia.
Just finished a very satisfying bowl of University Flake, started off with mainly Virginia, then 50/50 Burley and Virginia, then a nice, dark,Burley forward smoke in the last 3rd of the bowl.
Looking forward to aging this stuff in a jar - which means another order very soon as one tin is never enough.

@condorlover1 , re: coffee pods, I feel the same way, in that it will be the next environmental headache in years to come, like plastic straws and bottles etc.

Now going to sink a few Frangelico nips before bed.
