You cant peal the plug that way. Only crumble kakes can be prepared in that manner. The "blend" in a plug like condor has to be smoked together otherwise you only smoking maybe 15% of the mixture. Its kind of like smoking just the wrapper of a cigar.

Might be better to slice down the front rather than take a strip. If its made from different leaves you won't get the full flavour range by peeling a strip from the top. 👍

Condor ready rubbed and plug are both available here in Ireland. Just to let you know. It’s expensive though, around €16-€19 for 25g depending on the store you buy it from. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the review. I never knew such a thing existed as Condor Plug. It sounds quite good.

Yes, tobacco in Ireland is quite pricy. Among more expensive EU countries regarding that. I always buy some when I visit. I was lucky and bought quite a lot of Ready Rubbed version in Spain 🇪🇸 (5 EUR/50g) 😉. Cheers, Janez

Still haven't had a plug but I'm shopping a few. Doubt I can find that one here but will check for similar. It does sound interesting. I think the plugs and flakes would have a bit more richness than the ready rub, the impression I'd get. At least until i really get to try them.

Genuinely one of the nicest tobaccos, and a world away from regular Condor, IMHO. A completely different animal altogether. Been meaning to get an Irish buddy to get me some more.

@@thematchbox55 not bad thanks mate, been off the tube for a while but starting to catch up with a few videos. Yeh, shame about the price alright...costs as much for 25g as anything else is for 50g! I've never found out why.... Such good stuff though.
