Which Blend Do You Wish You Bought More Of Before It Disappeared?

[Franco Pipenbeans]

You know another I used to like once in a while was Walnut Flake.

I bought some “original” flake last year. I’ve no idea if it’s anything near the Walnut flake it replaced? The new version is very plain (for want of a better word) in the pouch and in the bowl. ?‍

I see that the “white” Condor blended seems to have gone in the UK?
I just tried to order some but there isn’t any to be had on the internet?
This might possibly have been discontinued some while ago and I’ve only just caught up with developments?

in the mid/later 1970s there was one called Angel Food,a vanilla blend. There has not been anything like it since

GLP Raven's Wing and especially Bohemian Scandal. RW I only had one bowl of first year I was smoking a pipe, at the time still learning. BS I got to lay hands on 8 years later and that, that was a special blend

Revor plug. I bought some just before it went out of production (at least in the former form). It will last for some time. When I'll finish it I will look for something else similar as there will always something close to what you like.

To my knowledge it’s not out of production. I think it’s synjeco that posted that on their website a while ago but it’s still available everywhere in england...what do you mean by former form? They changed the recipe? I bought like a pound and a half in the last year ant it seems all the same to me...

I might have confused with Condor plug which is the one which was sold to Poland and it looks like they changed the formulaton.
About Revor Plug as you noticed you too Synjeco posted on their site it went out of production (and actually they don't have it anymore) but if it is available elsewhere this means it was only with Synjeco

McClellands obvs.

At some expense I imported some Dark Star to the UK, which at the time felt like a leap of faith against all the TR hate about the fire retardancy and ketchup flavour. A fool to have even read that stuff.

Little did I realise they were the veritable gods of straight virginias.

I think that one got discontinued just before they moved production over to Poland. Don't worry though, you're not missing out on anything special. Russ Abbotts favourite blend (if you remember him).

Anyone remember Condor Mild which I think then turned into Condor Blue and then like some mythical bird flew in ever decreasing circles until it flew up its own arse and disappeared.

I thought he smoked Castellas in an oversized Golf cap while chasing Les Dennis?

 

[Franco Pipenbeans]

I do wish I had tried Mick McQuaid Plug or Square Cut before it disappeared.

Do you think either would live up to expectations?

I would have really liked to try any Murray’s or Ogden’s before they closed down but I live in the hope that I wasn’t missing much…

In a couple of months they will be gone for four years.

no manufacturers are going to take on the brand then? That does seem potty.

Mike and Mary didn't want what they had spent 40 years building to be spoiled by other's standards and refused to sell or share their recipes and processes.

Dunhill Gold Label. Yeah, I’m old.

 

[ScienceSmoker]

Savinelli's 140th Anniversary. It's my absolute favorite blend.

Back when I was an English smoker Ravens Wing was a favorite, forgot all about that stuff. I remember selling a few 2002 tins in 2012 as I had lost my taste for Latakia blends. I enjoyed Two Friends Deacons Downfall just as much as Raven Wing.

Now that Gallaher has been mentioned it reminded me of this one, would have loved to get me some of this.

all this Gallaher's reminds me they made one of the best snuffs ever. Wit and Wisdom. It was a toast with a tiny pinch of menthol and a tiny pinch of menthol in snuff is like a pinch of salt in food. It brings out other flavors and barely presents it's self.
