Soaring like a Soapy Condor!

Despite being in a state of relative penury I decided to reward myself for a week of hard work with a new baccy to try, that other heavy-weight of British OTC blends, the mighty Condor Long Cut!

Great review.. love the pipe. I will have to give Condor a go.. I last smoked it when i was a kid when i had a checky puff or two on my uncles pipe.. Cheers, Tim

@Milverton68 Be interested to know what you think of it, Tim. I think my tastes are evolving to make them quite similar to yours.

Interesting review Jim - for some reason I tend to associate Condor with Falcon pipe smokers. I might try it again. Thanks for posting.

@significantguy Mmm...I agree!  I actually quite want to try a Falcon. They would be great for travelling with if one acquired a few different bowls. Perhaps a small PAD is coming on!

So the 'Ah! ......Condor!' moment could be a combination of the smell and taste of soap combined with a lightheaded high? Like finding yourself sharing a bath with a soaped up Cheryl Cole?

@raindog951 Now there's an image to conjure with!

just ordered a pouch of condor long cut and a pouch of st brouno , is it really $10 for a 25g pouch thats what I paid darn expensive but worth it to try out some old english otc brands

A fine review! I just re-tried the Condor green, and it wasn't as potently floral (or soapy, really) as I'd remembered.

@curleyteeth I found the ready rubbed to be a little soapy, but the flake is almost.... spicey? with a hint of bbq sauce? I love it!

[curleyteeth]

ijust don,t understand where you get the soap taste from condor or st bruno.I have smoked both for 20 years or more and just don,t get the soap.

Excellent review, I have been smoking the range of Petersons tobacco but the Condor Long Cut without doubt gives a more "satisfiying" and wholesome smoke

[raindog951]

@PipesterJim Hahaha! Yes! Makes me want to go and buy a pack of Condor right now......

Hi, Jim--

I think that I shall never see

A review of Condor un-soapy.

Or something like that...

Cheers,
