More Details |
Peterson's Perfect Plug (3 P's) is a firmly pressed brick made of a variety of Virginias and Burleys. A deep and not overly-sweet fruity top-dressing is added before pressing with heat for two weeks. The result is a smooth yet robust tobaccos, best suited to experienced pipe enthusiasts.
I didn't notice any fruit taste but a little sweet and a really good basic tobacco flavor. It was a little bit of a challenge for me to learn how to cut it but now that I have that mastered I am ordering more. I have discovered that I can slice it however I consider best for the type and size pipe that I will be smoking it in.
A very robust tobacco, simple tobacco taste not complex but I tasted hints of oak in it. I didn't taste the fruity flavors as the fresh out of the tin smell lets on. It does have a noticeable nicotine rush, but not overwhelming. I would say the overall experience was like smoking a good cigar. I cut the plug loosened it up and folded it in the bowl, next time I try I'll fully rub out.
I'm about halfway through my first plug of 3P and it is a most enjoyable smoke. I smoke it in a small Turkish Meerschaum because it is a nicotine rich smoke. This is a true tobacco flavor, not complex at all but very tasty. I like it in the evening after dinner with a good craft ale.
Reviews are very subjective, so with that in mind I took the plunge and tried Peterson's 3P's. Expecting a overwhelming intense rush of tobacco heaviness I was completely taken back by my test run. Firstly, yes the tobacco is on the robust side, and yes it has a very full bodied texture to the smoke. Secondly, the casing was not detected by me, even though the tin note reminded me of figs. Not a complex smoke at all, very straight forward, one dimensional, no nonsense tobacco. Finally, the nicotine content is on the higher side, nothing too overwhelming (I do not inhale), and manageable with a nice glass of adult beverage. Will smoke again, enjoyed the full bodied tobacco flavor.
Great taste. Easy to work with and hardly ever goes out. Wife likes the smell so that's a big plus.
