Suggestions on Plug Tobacco

[milehighpiper]

Greetings,
I have been smoking a variety of tobaccos and have not had the opportunity to try a plug tobacco. I was searching for Peterson's 3P's a minute ago. However, I wanted to post this to see if anyone can suggest a decent plug tobacco.
I am into: Pirate Cake, Aperitif, McClelland's 2015/University Blend, Elizabethan Mixture, and some aromatics.

I am not into: Heavily flavored Cavendish or strong Burleys.
Let me know what you think my first plug should be. Pictures are always welcomed!
Thanks!

Warhorse Green?

JackKnife Plug and Salty Dogs are the first two that come to my mind.

Agree with CE. Both are relatively easy to get, especially JKP, and very good. If you want to step out a bit, order some SG FVP and SJP from Synjeco in Europe. When it is available again here, SG Kendall Plug is essentially BBF in Plug form.

I also like Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs and it seems inline with what you asked for (it is a VaPer plug). Pfeifen Huber's Epikur is a nice straight Virginia plug that I've enjoyed. I understand that it is very close to the Samuel Gawith's FVP mentioned above.
Caveat: I'm not as experienced with plugs as others here.

Salty Dogs or maybe Wessex Gold Brick. Many like JKP as well.

Warrior Plug if you can find it as well as Salty Dog are all pretty decent.

Aperitif, McClelland's 2015, Elizabethan Mixture

It may be worth noting that these are no longer in production.

I agree with all the above suggestions. I really love the SG plugs and if you like aromatics you should try from Synjeco some the SG aromatic plugs such as Groosemore and Cannon (which are scented Kendall plugs), RB plug (which is scented FVP plug) or cob plug (which is plug form of 1792).

Whatever you'll choose you'll find plugs very very good, I would say more full bodies and intense in flavor.

One advise, use smaller pipes with plugs as they burn slower and last way longer than ribbon cuts.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will spend this snowy day looking through pipe tobacco reviews to narrow my search.
As Chasing Embers reminded us, the Dunhill blends are long gone but I was able to source a few tins from different places. I just have to get lucky and find one more Nightcap tin and maybe two more Aperitifs for safekeeping.
I will let you know what I decide to try and how it goes.

If You like bolder flavors then the English Revor and Warrior Plug come to my mind,though the latter is hard to get even here in the Eu.

 

[mawnansmiff]

Paul, Warrior Plug is available from Mysmokingshop.com here in the UK which is still in the EU (not for much longer though ).
Regards,
Jay.

All of them. Try every last one you can. I am always looking for the next one which I haven't yet acquired. But War Horse Bar and Green are great and readily available.

 

[cjh22]

I agree with Crash -- War Horse Bar is probably my favorite plug style tobacco. It most definitely packs a punch, but it's flavors are very good.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

For me, the War Horse bar was a bit over the top, as they say, ass kicker

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

I believe Warrior plug is no longer available, I bought as much as I could reasonably afford earlier in the year when I saw it had disappeared from a couple of the shops online and I haven't seen any since.

Warrior was discontinued from what I can tell. If you see it, buy it.

The four plugs that are in my cellar are the following.
Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs

Samuel Gawith Kendal Plug

Wessex Gold Brick

Peterson Perfect Plug

 

[crashthegrey]

I have never had that Gold Brick. I guess I need to remedy that.
