Decent tubular tyres?

I have aquired a set of wheels that take tubulars. Having always used
clinchers, can anyone recommend a decent tubular tyre (and glue maybee
also).

Road or track?
I love the smell of Vittoria Mastic Gutta in the laundry....
(only use that for track, its v. messy!)
The question is ot stir or not to stir? (Mastic users will know what I'm
talking about)

If they are for track or road, what surfaces they will be used on? Are they
for training on or Racing? How much cash are you willing to part with?

I use Continental Tempo 22 tubulars (retail around $160 each) on my race
wheels. They have a very fine file pattern tread which works well on both
concrete and board tracks. Not the fastest tyre around but they wear pretty
well in comparison to say a Continental Sonderclasse, an Andre Dugast
Black, or Vittoria Atlanta Gold etc. I've also ridden a Corima Disc that
had a Vittoria Corsa Evo CX which was not a bad ride but being a road
tubular didn't quite have the same feel as my usual Tempo tubs did on the
board track at Dunc Gray. But there again this may have been due to the
ride characteristics of the wheel rather the rubber mounted on it.

As far as glue goes I have used both Continental and Clement brand cements
with out any problems at all thus far.

Continental also sell tubular glue .

Conti, Schwalbe, Ritchey, Vittoria etc all make good tubulars but the
company that produces the widest range of tubulars is TUFO in the Czech
Republic. The company was started by M. Klabal in the early 90's after the
demise of Barum's tubular division when Conti bought them.. Czech has a big
tradition in tubular tyres & is where most club riders still use tubulars
plus you can buy training tubulars at larger supermarkets!
Tufo: No big advertising, don't supply any big trade teams, don't outsource
to Thailand but just specialise in making good tubular tyres.

I am willing to part with around $140 per tyre. Race tyres to be used for
road.
