3P's Peterson Perfect Plug

3P's Peterson Perfect Plug is a molded tobacco combining African and Brazilian-origin Virginia leaf with Malawi Burley. The blend is pressed under heat and rested for about two weeks before being cut into blocks; the smoker slices off a portion of the desired thickness from the block and rubs it out. The leaf carries a light fruit topping.

Burley's earthy, nutty body balances Virginia's sugar; dark fruit and bready notes come forward through the smoke. Nicotine strength is medium. It suits smokers who enjoy working with pressed tobacco, preparing their own slices, and aging it in the tin. Letting a prepared slice sit in the air for a while afterward makes the burn easier to manage.
