Peterson's Perfect Plug

Peterson's Perfect Plug is a blend in which ripe African Virginia leaf and spicy Brazilian- and Malawi-origin Burley leaf are pressed into a plug. It is sold as a molded block; before smoking it needs to be sliced and rubbed out. Peterson is an Irish brand, and the blend appears in the current Peterson tobacco line under the name 3 P's Peterson's Perfect Plug.

It carries a medium-strong nicotine level and an intense flavor; a fruity sweetness rounds out the blend's character. Pressing intensifies the tobacco's flavor while also giving a slow, cool smoke. It suits smokers accustomed to preparing plug tobacco who are seeking a full-bodied Virginia-Burley mixture.
