Peterson 3P’s Plug Pipe Tobacco, also known as Peterson’s Perfect Plug is more than just a smoking experience. There’s enjoyment to be had from preparing this plug tobacco as much as there is in the satisfaction of smoking it. With two varieties of leaves, African and Brazilian Virginias and Burley from Malawi, and a little topping, there’s no crowding of tastes. It delivers wonderful caramel toffee smoke that’s not too sweet and can be appreciated by the novice and expert pipe smoker alike.

Don’t be put off that this is a plug pipe tobacco. If you’ve never prepared plug before, here’s a little guidance to ensure you can benefit from its wonderful flavour.
Opening the tin you’ll find a carefully packaged brick of densely packed tobacco leaves, that have in fact been pressed, heated and stored for two weeks before cutting. You’ll notice an aroma of fermented raisin, prune and date which mildly comes through in the smoke. Take the plug and cut, with a sharp knife, against the grain into thin flakes. With the now flaked tobacco, you may proceed as you would normally with any other flake. You may choose to rub it out, cube it, fold it or myriad other preparation methods. This tobacco smokes best when you achieve a light fluffy crumb, the finer and lighter the more thoroughly it burns.
