Bosun Plug?

[jbfrady]

This isn't always in stock at smokingpipes.com but it is right now. I recently sent them some estates so I'm expecting to make a purchase rather soon. I'm thinking of tacking this plug onto the order.

I've tried such a wide variety of tobacco in recent months that I'm having difficulty drudging up new (to me) and unique flavor profiles. For this reason, I'm intrigued by Bosun. Not the cut plug, but the real thing.

At first, the thought of an aromatic plug was baffling to me. Still, this shit's carrying a near-perfect rating on smokingpipes.com and a 3.5/4 on TR. Those are some insane figures, but that also means I'm apt to amp up my expectations, put it on a pedestal, and risk major disappointment.

So, I'm asking you fellas. If you've tried it, what do you think?

Geranium and rose to the max. Many love it. I think it’s vile.

I've only had the cut plug, but it's kinda the Lakeland's Lakeland, you know? So it's likely only fans of those flavors would be pursuing and reviewing it, as I imagine it would be a very pure example of the form. Which might explain the high scores.

If you've had Lakelands before and enjoyed them, I may go for it. Particularly if you're using store credit.

I got a couple ounces of it.. 6-7 years ago.
From what I remember, I finished it but never bought more.

If you like Lakelands, you'll probably love it.

If you're neutral on Lakelands it could go either way.. but you'll probably like it well enough to finish.

You’re under thinking it.

You’re under thinking it.

I hadn't thought of it that way

 

[Kobold]

I love it. One of those tobaccos that I thought I would hate but it’s one of my favorites and always in my rotation.

I always have a jar of it around both in plug and cut plug format. If you like sniffing Auntie Mabels underwear drawer or Kevin Spacey's sock drawer then this is the tobacco for you!

 

[kcghost]

Not for me, thanks, but if you wish to sample it, it's okay with me.

If you’ve not tried Lakeland blends this is a no holds barred Lakeland. Give it a shot, you may find a new favorite.

I’m a loyal fan of Lakeland blends. Bosun Plug is a great addition to the styles offerings. It has its time and place in my selection. Will it woo you? Likely not. But your dragon sounds different than mine. Definitely give it a go either way.

Though I understand it's significance in a larger sense, would anybody like to give a Lakeland sauce(s) rundown? I find that I can often get better context off here than anyplace else.

Unless you’ve gotten a sample, I wouldn’t go deep, Bosun’s is quite floral.
Dark Flake Aromatic and Coniston I find very nice when in a Lakeland mood, as the quality leafs used aren’t entirely wiped out by the perfumeyness…

Lakelands: Let's Build A Sauce Scale :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion

I just fired up some Coniston Cut Plug and read the thread concerning Ennerdale. I've enjoyed the Lakelands I've tried so far and I realize that I've only scratched the surface. For the sake of myself and other "saucy" smokers, let's build a comprehensive list of all things Lakeland and try to...

I just got tonight a couple of ounces of the plug. Will try next week end. The smell is good, lakeland but not overpowering, I have good expectations.

It's clove not Lakeland...and it's absolutely amazing!
