Virginia Tobacco » Peterson 3 P's (Peterson's Perfect Plug) Tobacco Reviews

Not for me!

I'm sure there are many that love this plug. Taste is a very subjective thing and to each his own. I do not love this plug. I found the taste to be most foul. My best description of this tobacco would be to ask the smoker to imagine what lawn clippings and chopped up rubber bands would taste like smoked in a pipe. I've smoked for thirty five years and this is one of the few tins of tobacco I've tossed in the trash. A two dollar plug of Day's Work chewing tobacco prepaired for the pipe would surely provide a tastier smoke.

A respectful disagreement

I love user "Rattdogg"'s handle, especially if it is derived from Bob Weir of The GRATEFUL DEAD's new band!
But, I figured I'd create an account here and throw in my two cents on the aforementioned Peterson's Perfect Plug tobacco. Although nowhere near as delicious as the King Of Plugs, Greg's "Jacknife"(what is?), this is nonetheless a very good blend. Tin aroma is a bit misleading, as once you get it lit -I personally smell Virginia and only Virginia upon popping it, but when lit one gets a strong Burley...Room note, according to my chick, is pleasant, and a friend called it 'citrusy' which may be true, but is not detectable in the flavor. This stuff is rock hard, and you don't want to let the whole block dry out or when you attempt to cut it you will get sawdust-so what I do is cut a slice or three off the block and set it out to dry for a little while. Again, this is nothing spectacular but it IS certainly a very enjoyable smoke.
