| Having absolutely adored Long Cut and Ready Rubbed, I finally decided to give this a go. Let's face it, after those, what could go wrong?
First off, the packet aroma is quite sweet, possibly a sweet brandy with a dash of port. Packing and lighting worked just as sweetly. Sadly, for the first few smokes I was relatively unimpressed by this, it was a bit rough hitting the back of the throat. It took a good few, perhaps ten, to finally get me into the the swing of this as eventually I began to warm to it, that sweet brandy flavour came through. A lack of tonguebite was quite a welcome surprise.
On the whole then, this doesn't win any awards and doesn't fair well against it's full blooded bigger brothers but nonetheless satisfies. Three stars is a fair assessment I think.

| I'm going to give this a 4 as it is a lovely smoke. I don't think it's totally unlike the Condor ready rubbed - it has the same floral/soapy/vinous taste and aroma. No bite at all even though I'm a bit of a puffer. Might not be the baccy I'd choose for the desert island but it's certainly good.

| Good combustion, with trend to create dampness towards the end of the whiff. It supports the flavor until the end, combining the sweetness of the beginning with an evolution later to more earthy tones. It tastes Virginias, nothing to see with the Condor Original.

| Despite what the packaging say's this tastes nothing like regular Condor, I had expected a milder version of the regular Condor but instead I got a quite different beast. Opening the pouch the smell of virginia was very noticeable, but it had a tinge of cigarette tobacco to it, no other tobacco's or flavours could be detected. The cut is fine, much finer than the ready rubbed version and colour is a consistent golden brown. It is very easy to light and smokes well, tongue bite is nil even if smoked hard. However the lack of toungue bite comes at a price, there is no noticable flavour to this tobacco, it is clearly virginia but it lack's the subtle tastes and flavours of other milder pipe tobacco's that aren't mass produced. I got very bored smoking this tobacco, simply because I couldn't get any flavour out of it. The room note is surprisingly stong and the smell isn't that pleasant, it smells a little bit like stale sweat! That said this would be great tobacco for a beginner to pipe smoking, the weak flavouring and lack of toungue bite it might be just the thing for a beginner who doesn't want a shock from too much flavour or bite.
