ok, I guess I gotta try this after reading about it for a year.. where do you buy it in the states??
I'm a fan, it's only been a week since my first bowl, and I already know I'll be smoking this for as long as I can get my hands on it.
The Pipe Divan is a JJ Fox store and has the best price but currently have a limit of 5 of the 25g packets. VAT excluded and free shipping @ ~130.00.
The James Fox has a limit of 35 and excludes VAT. Shipping at 40 Euro is twice what Peterson charges.
Peterson allowed me to buy 45, includes VAT.
However you buy it, it costs about a dollar to smoke a bowl, which doesn't seem that much, but as it is twice tin price, it gives me pause. Thus far I've spent a good bit of money on this pricy tobacco and probably will spend more, but everything has a limit.
I've smoked a lot of potent tobacco but to me Condor is clearly the best. It is heavily processed, but I love its dark, smoky, topped flavor, which I think is Rose Geranium. As a side note UK essences are extremely proprietary such that only the formulator really knows what's in them. Even management in the Gawith/Hoggarth blending house doesn't know.
I have no idea if the base tobacco is VA or burley, but whatever it is, it's more likely tropical, as in Indian and African, which countries supply the main tobaccos in Dark Flake/Plug, which has been my all-time favorite. Condor is clearly special and to me is well worth the price, which is what kept me from smoking it for a long time.
The other popular UK plugs are Warrior Plug, Yachtsman and Mick McQuaid; but there are more, as well.
Buy Condor. Love Condor! Buy Condor! Love Condor! Condor condor condor condor condor condor, condor, condor!

Distributing to the US costs too much? Yes there is money to be made, but it is less profitable than what Japan Tobacco has set as its minimum standard? Spend their business energy doing things that yield more profit?
Along the same lines, it's twice as expensive as tinned tobacco because the owners know how good it is.

Smoke cobs to buy Condor.
Take out a second mortgage, borrow against your children's college fund, harvest the trees from a property, tell your wife that you have to cancel the European trip, having contracted yellow toe fungus and
Love Condor,
Buy Condor,
Live Condor!
Condor on, and Con-tigeroga!
