A condor moment

[Stick]

I had a chance encounter this week with an old acquaintance. A chap of more senior years, he was the Padre for the organisation I used to work for and, as I discovered back then, he was also a man of the briar. On the way home from work last Friday I swung by our local Co-op (think Walmart) and there he was queuing at the dispensary, still in his work attire. As I hadn't seen him for a while I thought I'd catch up so stopped for a little chat. It was great to see him looking so well and true to form he had a briar in his pocket. Turns out he was queuing to pick up a packet of his favourite blend; Condor. At this juncture in our conversation a wry smile tweaked the corner of his mouth and he leant a little closer... 'you know Stick, I was here last week dressed as I am now and when I asked for a packet of Condor the girl behind the counter give me a 6 six pack of condoms. I can't imagine what she thought of me'.

A man of the Cloth being offered condoms. That would have been great to see........

Great stories happen anywhere, eh?

Thanks Stick!

Mate, you could have said "there might be snow on the rooftop but there's still fire in the furnace".

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge!




Cheers,

Good story!
As a man of the cloth I guess he can only rely on the ready rubbed...ahem.

Do you ever smoke Condor Stick?
Don't think I ever heard you mention it but sounds like its readily available for you.
To many its like a nectar of the gods.

Eh up Smudger, now that really made me laugh!

Condor... Mmm, now that has really made me think. If I'm honest I don't ever recall trying it but as you say, perhaps as it's so available here in Blighty, perhaps I should. If it worked out I'd have a ready supply only 5 mins walk away. Now that has appeal!

I'm being lazy now... what baccy bracket does it fall into? Taste and flavour?

It's basically a Lakeland David. Think old ladies perfume. Some like it, some hate it. That said, Condor doesn't seem to have as heavy a dose of it as some others.

Might be worth the cost of a pouch, and if it's too strong in the "L" factor you can always cut it with something else.

Thanks Rande. I reckon I'll be grabbing myself a packet of condoms condor next time I'm in the Co-op then. I'll give anything a whirl once. Let's hope it doesn't prove too embarrassing at the check out...

David, make sure you're ready to clean the heck out of whatever pipe you try it in. Some folks will tell you it will ghost a pipe for a very long time. Odds are one bowl won't be an issue but better safe than sorry.

Condoms get people in lots of trouble.
When I was working a fellow from the UK asked a secretary if she had a rubber.
While there was a lot of snickering we later learned that he was asking for an eraser.
He was originally from Denmark and his son's first name was Coon.
While I am not sure of the exact spelling, I am sure that is a topic for another post.

Yes, very true Jim. Glad you brought this up.

I've tried it myself through the courtesy of Adam, and though I'm L-averse I didn't find Condor off-putting with the scenting. It was there but not pronounced. Need to go back and find where I put it and give it another whirl, perhaps in a meer.
