MB Old Dark Fired Plug Cut

[crawdad]

Smoking Pipes has a limited run on Mac Baren Old Dark Fired Plug Cut. 7 tin max. I’ve got my 7.

 

[danimalia]

I saw that. May throw a tin in my next order if it's still available. I prefer Bold Kentucky to ODF (and pre-cut flakes to plugs), but I'd still be interested in trying it.

I like their old dark fired flake as well, it would be interesting to try the actual plug though...hm ....

Did the Mac Baren HH line come out before the 2007 deadline?

 

[alaskanpiper]

Nabbed a couple immediately. I love plugs.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

I'd assume this plug being a bit bolder in taste in comparison to standard Old Dark fired flake,?

 

[didimauw]

Jiminx didn't first review their Burley Flake until 2018.... Doesn't look good. But I should find out for sure!
And old dark fired wasn't reviewed untill 2012

The bastids reeled me in. No way I could pass that up... 8)

Foolish to grab all these limited edition items.
Anyway I grabbed 7. I like plugs.

 

[JimInks]

Didimauw: the dates you cited are the release date years.

 

[cigrmaster]

I didn't buy any plugs. I have loads of 2012 ODF flake I am enjoying and I don't feel like aging any more tobacco.

 

[didimauw]

Jim, I assumed so, as your usually the first to try them all! Thank you!

This stuff will be great trade bait in a few years.

Seems a bit redundant. Cut it into flakes which are already available, or shave it into ready rubber which is also available, or cut into flakes and cube cut it which you can already do with the flakes.

 

[haparnold]

I agree with Embers on this one. Nothing against it, but I'm not sure what the upside is, except having to pay an extra $2/tin for the privilege of slicing it into flakes once you get it home.

IT'S DIFFERENT! IT'S NEW! IT'S LIMITED EDITION!
In all seriousness though I bought two tins because the plugs are much more convenient for adventuring. They don't spill nearly as well as flakes or RR and seem to hold their moisture a little better once unsealed

 

[cohibajoe]

Here we go again with "Limited Edition"...

 

[Waning Embers]

"Limited Edition"

Seeing that tacked on to anything immediately kills my interest.

 

[josephcross]

I bought a few before I realized they were limited. I would have bought them regardless because plugs are a great format, and ODF is a favourite.

 

[jaytex1969]

My experience with Dark Flake/Plug taught me the value of plug. After a few years, the plug will likely have a different flavor than the flake.
I'm looking forward to it.
