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

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
And it’s actually in stock right now with no purchase limits, @beargreasediet :

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
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 do! Essential Saturday night telly, eventually superseded by Jasper Carrot.
I thought he smoked Castellas in an oversized Golf cap while chasing Les Dennis?
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…
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.

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.
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.
