An Amazing Gawith Plug !

[condorlover1]

I just cut a piece of a Gawith plug to prepare for the day when I was confronted with this sight. I once had a friend with stomach issues who kept a photo album of polaroid pictures of his greatest 'foot longs' to show his doctor and thought of the shots of unprocessed salad when I saw this mess up of a plug. I swear plugs are meant to be layers of whole threshed leaf that are pressed and then steamed together under pressure. I guess something must have gone a bit pear shaped with this one as it looks like a Waasa cracker and wilted salad sandwich. Anyone else experienced this? This is not another bash Gawith thread but a simple consumer inquiry.

Love when this happens - big chunks of unbroken leaf.
I've never experienced such a large section of it though.

Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly to steal a term from SpaceX.

But how did it smoke?

Looks like something the Girl Scouts would sell.

@RustiePyles CPG : It was sort of interesting. I am used to slicing my plugs and then 'Stuff and Folding' them or rubbing them out. This new 'Jaffa Cake' approach to plugs has certainly expanded my world. You get to slice the bottom part and then cut up the loose leaves with a pair of nail scissors. I am thinking of naming this the 'Adjusto-Plug' since you can moderate the different components depending on your taste. Frankly why they have thought of this before over the last 100 years is beyond me!

Carnac the Magnificent says that a rep will be along shortly to explain that this never happened, you don't know as much as they do about anything, you're full of sh!t, and your mama smells funny.

Don't blame me, blame Carnac!!!

Finally! A breakthrough in tobacco plug technology! What will modern science come up with next?

Stroll on, never seen a plug as poorly pressed as that one, state of it! Lol
Wonder if the engineer overseeing the vacuum packaging machine has been promoted to looking after the steam presses?

Need more fiber.

I have a plug from SP of GH Bosun Plug that looked just like this mess.

Looks like leaf icing on the brownie.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

BTW is this the burnt end thing? Or, which plug is it?

No offense but it looks like the packaging department of GH stole half your plug & left you with the other half + having taken a dump on it….I’d still smoke it though… I mean what the hell? ️

I don’t have many wishes in life, but one would to be a fly on the wall when you and the Weez opened that.

Said it before and I'll say it again.

Why a group of people who---by definition because we're here---care the MOST about pipes and tobacco, do their best at every opportunity to demoralize and discourage a company that chose to slog its way through the insane swamp that dealing with producing and selling tobacco internationally has become, rather than surrender and close their doors, is one of the most confusing things I've ever seen in my life.
