Never enjoyed beer.... even in my 'Army' days. Now the odd tipple of wine (red is one of the five a days isn't it?) is something else Wink

I could happily retire to Llandudno.
Proper pace to life. Nobody's rushing about and everything you want is within walking distance.

My neighborhood is much like that, Peter, even though it's in a major city. Very Happy

My grandfather used to smoke a brand of small cigars called Denobili Parodi. They came five in a cardboard box in the colors of the Italian flag. Little crooked shrivelled things that my father claimed were soaked in formaldehyde! Very Happy

I used to say that no one else but Italian men over the age of 65 had the ballocks to smoke them! Razz

It's expensive due to Condors being rare and difficult to trap.

Bombed Guernica I think,never thought of that. And here's me all these years and a lifelong trade union man unknowingly smoking fascist tobacco!
That said it pre dates WW1 my Grandad always smoked Condor Twist. That was plug tobacco in a rope you had to cut off slices and rub it yourself.
Don't see that these days.
The old boys in the cotton mills where he worked all his life apart from first war would chew twist then throw the quids up to stick on the ceiling over their spinning mules. Come Saturday morning cleaning down they knocked the quids down with their long handled brooms and that was their weekend smoke.
No wonder mortality rates were high and young amongst male mill hands. Grandad my dad's dad made it to 86 though he was lifelong teetotal and vegetarian apart from fish.

Would there be any relationship between Condor Ready Rubbed tobacco, and the Condor Legion (which, if I remember correctly, was the name of Spain's SS unit)?
