Product: Peterson 3 P's Peterson's Perfect Plug 50g
I’m mostly an aro’ smoker, but I like to have some non aro’s in my rotation to keep me interested. When looking for a “non-aro” to add to my stash I saw this beauty. I admit I bought it mostly because it looked good.
I thoroughly enjoy the preparati... Read More
on ritual of pipe smoking and the plug adds to that. I dont get people who dont like the “prep”. Its a wonderful part of the meditative journey that I believe should be embraced. It’s one of the many things that sets our pastime aside from cigarette smoking.
Presentaion:
Clean, tidy compressed plug with no crumbs. It came in an unnecessarily large 100g tin.
Tin note:
Very dark slightly sweet (80%cocoa) chocolate.
General Smokability:
Prepares nicely with a very sharp blade of your choosing. Moisture content seemed agreeable, and it burns nicely with few relights and generous plumage. Taste is very enjoyable, although not an aro there’s a nice deep sweetness lurking there with a weighty mouthfeel. Room note, according to those around me is quite strong. I wouldnt smoke this inside. Nic’ is quite present for me and I enjoy this on a full stomach rather than an empty one.
Conclusion:
Buy one of these fine plugs, put it in a mason jar and enjoy it as often or not as you like. I’m a convert and will always want a plug or two on the shelf. If you enjoy the contemplative ritual (there are those out there that dont) of our hobby then this will only add to it. Read Less

Like Smoking Chewing Tobacco
June 07, 2021
Product: Peterson 3 P's Peterson's Perfect Plug 50g
Boy, this one is stout. I don't get the medium rating.
I smoke some pretty rich mixtures and some with a good amount of nicotine, and this one hits me harder than most. Initial light brings anise with a bit of baker's cocoa, which marks the burley... Read More
, while the VA is very fermented, earthy and woody. Further into the bowl, those notes dissipate and it gets sour. There is this sort of a cross between chewing tobacco and pipe tobacco, so it kind of tastes like you're smoking chewing tobacco at times. To be honest, it's pretty uneventful and not nearly as flavorful as most pipe mixtures out there. I just wanted to try this. Imagine HH VA with a helping of burley... the burley kinda ruins the flavor but gives it substantial body. A higher amount of tobacco is used to make a true plug like this, so it's no surprise that this is pretty steep in nicotine. I'd place the nicotine level at 4 out of 5. Read Less

I had been given this tobacco around the same time I had been given a bag of really strong Guatemalan coffee beans.
Both the Coffee and the Plug are now gone, but while they lasted, they gave me some of the most sublime smokes I’ve ever had in my 12 years of dabbling with pipes.
I smoked it in two different small Stanwell pipes. Both just under 5 inches in length with shorter chambers, about 3/4 of an inch in diameter. Read Less

k McQuad Plug but much lighter and serves to enhance the natural flavor of the tobaccos rather than to act as an aromatic, so in that regard it is much more like a casing than a topping. I like to slice it into thin flakes with my pocket knife and fully rub it out and let it dry for no more than 15 minutes. I like my plug tobaccos more on the moist side as opposed to most other cuts. Rich, creamy and very natural tasting. Not overly complex in structure but not boring either, there are many nuances to contemplate. This is a dumb reach for me as I am always in the mood for it or some other similar plug. Lets keep plug tobacco blends alive fellas, keep on smoking them! The nicotine is satisfying if your a nic freak like me, otherwise it might be a little bit on the strong side. I like to smoke it in a large bowled billiard and I can easily get an hour to an hour and a half out of it.

elf is nice. Deep and rich. It gets quite intense near the end of the bowl. Burns well, with a nice toothsome smoke. Burns to a silvery ash with only the smallest dottle left. Burns cool, and dry. Slightly sweet, more savory. A satisfying smoke for sure.
My tin had aged a few years after I bought it before smoking, so maybe it's my fault the plug was so hard. But, I simply couldn't cut it with a knife... just was able to shave the edges. I set it aside in a mason jar out of frustration. When I went back to it I just started breaking it apart, the wrong way so I have large leafs. Then, I just chopped up the individual leafs. I found this an enjoyable smoke as well. The large cutting lightened the blend just a tad, and at least to my palate, improved the smoke. In any case, the leaf itself, and the blend, is good. But there's a bit of prep work that I find to be an annoyance personally. Have a good sharp knife! Read Less

Product: Peterson 3 P's Peterson's Perfect Plug 50g
A very dark brown, almost black, cube-shaped plug, sealed in cellophane and vacuum packed in a common round tobacco tin. Like all plugs, it’s a chore to get it ready for smoking. I have achieved best results when slicing medium thick flakes and then ... Read More
rubbed into a rough Ready Rubbed. After preparing, I let it air spread out for about two hours. Lighting is quite difficult, but once properly lit you are rewarded with a nice, cool, steady and very slow burn, terminating into dry white ash, and never leading to any kind of tongue bite.
In my perception this mixture lies somewhere in between an Aromatic and a strong Danish Mixture. It’s a deep digging, powerful mixture with a natural Virginia and Burley tobacco taste in its base. There is a fruity casing, though. I can detect citrus fruit, plum or raisin, and some indefinable flavours. A layer of sweet topping accompanies you throughout the bowl. It is about the highest acceptable level for me, in both aspects, fruit casing and sweet topping.
“3P’s”, as it’s called in short form, or “Peterson’s Perfect Plug” in its long form, is a recommendable, heavy, tasty mixture, no doubt, there is just too much unmerited fuss about it. However, I gather it would be even better without casing and topping. It was an interesting try, but I will not buy it again. Read Less

This tobacco is exceptional from other pressed tobaccos I have tried for numerous reasons..
1. The packaging: It is nearly the only plug or flake I have seen in a round tin. Which is more convenient to be honest in case you like to keep your baccy ... Read More
in tin
2. Tin note: I fell in love with it.. A rich, deep fruity tin note
3. Cutting: As always, plugs are a bit of a challenge, but this one is quite easy to cut and pack
4. Main Attributes: Rich flavour, good body and aroma
My only gripe with it so far is keeping it lit. Maybe, I am cutting it thick, so I will keep trying for thinner cuts. Otherwise, definitely one to keep in your rotation Read Less

Awesome! I have many open tins of tobacco choices and I find myself coming to back to 3Ps after a night of a couple Ales. A must for all hardcore connoisseur snobby pipe smokers. Seriously!

have had this time again, so smooth, deep smoke trails float above you. Cut from the block, then with an extremely sharp knife cut like garlic, the flavour bouquest really comes out. A long satisfying burley.

This tobacco is in a league of its own. It's taste is very bold and unlike anything I've tasted before.

I was not sure how I would feel about this one, but i ordered 3 tins anyway. I'm quite glad I did! This is a delightful tobacco, rich and creamy, and oh so smooth across the palate! Slice it this and rub for a shag, or slice it thick and rub for a ni... Read More
ce chunky, cool burning ribbon. One little piece of advice for this one, it does not benefit whatsoever from drying out. Slice and smoke, at least thats the way I like it! Read Less

I'm a hugh Peterson fan, and this one does not disappoint. I love the presentation. The plug is gorgeous out of the tin. Cut it into flakes, cubes, rub it up...I prefer flakes and cubes, but it makes a great smoke no matter how its prepped. Well, I s... Read More

This is my favorite plug. Its dark in color, but the smoke is excellent. I like the naturally sweet Va's , but I am also a huge fan of Petersons University flake.
This plug kind of comes close to University flake for me. But a bit less fruity. Which ... Read More
makes it a good Va in my case. and the plug is just cool. It lets you slice and prep it to your liking.
This is another one of those that I keep for those special times , when its just me and my pipe. Those times when I want to savor my tobacco, and enjoy it. Read Less
