Condor Blended in a Servi billiard meer (mil. bit)

I understand Condor Blended used to be called Condor Mild. If so, the 'mild' doesn't seem to apply as much to the underlying tobacco but to the casing. Most of the botanicals are missing, but it's still fairly flavored. One reviewer suggested brandy, but it tastes more like Tonquin to me. Compared to Lakelands, I'd say stronger than Glengarry's flavor, more similar to SG's Kendal Cream in strength and (a bit) in flavor. YMMV
