AJ has put together some fabulous blends....I’m hooked on AJ#3. You can smoke this wonderful blend like a freight train and absolutely NO bite....just wonderful tobacco’s...leaves a very pleasant taste to the palate👍👍👌 AJ #8 is fabulous. Maybe better than #1, which I have a pound of sitting now for 4 years. Very expensive Flake mix with a little aro for fun (#1). Don't think I've had #3. |

I've got about a little over 100 grams of Condor Ready Rub that I got in a trade. It is a little dry but smokes ok. Flavor wise I like it, but it bites me a bit has a tendency to burn hot. Worst of all during last quarter of the bowl the flavor mostly Burns off leaving some lackluster tobacco behind. It was surprisingly hard to find something to blend it with to improve the characteristics for me. Everything else seemed to clash with the flavors. Then I found the miracle combination: 50\50 HH Old Dark Fired with Condor RR. The flavors work well together. The burn is slowed down and the last part of the bowl tastes fantastic. What is your odd combination that works really well for you? Was that Irish Condor or Poland Condor (How can they make an Irish tobacco in Poland). The Polish version is terrible according to Condor Lover and Weezel on another forum. Got my brother to bring back several pouches of Long Cut from London when he was there last (2016). Sent off a pouch to AJ for his enjoyment. That, I believe, was the last of the Irish. Irish Condor Long Cut or Plug...just doesn't get any better than that. |

Sometimes I chip a little Lakeland into an aro for additional flavor. I did that with G&H Dark Plug cause the Dark Plug has a nic kick like a mule and I can't smoke it straight (I tried once and was dizzy (more than usual) after the second puff (almost said hit and thereby disclose my past...which ain't pretty).

I got it in a jar from someone else in a trade, no date. It tastes like Condor to me, but I never smoked it all that frequently. |

I mix about 2 parts Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic (SWRA) with 1 part Five Brothers. Tastes like SWRA with added strength from the Five Brothers. Highly recommended!  |

I haven't had GH Dark Bird's Eye yet, but it's on my list. 👍 |

80% McClelland Yenidje Supreme and 20% HH Vintage Syrian. Let it marry for a year and you're good to go! Could you send me a few pounds of McClelland Yenidje Supreme? I will send you the same when it comes back in stock. |
