Pressed into dense, dark flakes, this plug-style tobacco can be rubbed out or folded for a longer, cooler burn—however you take it, the reward is a rich, slow-burning session steeped in complexity and charm.
Type: Pressed Plug (Flake)
Cut: Flake
Contents: Matured Virginia, Kentucky, and a dash of Burley
Flavouring: None (just pure, natural tobacco goodness)
Strength: Medium
Room Note: Traditional – earthy, woody, satisfying
Tin Size: 50g
The Fribourg and Treyer Cut Blended Plug (Flake) 50g tin is not a flashy, in-your-face aromatic—it’s a quiet classic for the discerning smoker. It's contemplative, refined, and beautifully balanced—made for slow enjoyment and genuine appreciation. A nod to the golden age of pipe tobacco, but still holding its own in a modern world of instant gratification.
If you’re looking to step into the world of traditional flake tobaccos—or just want a tried-and-true plug to savour on slow evenings—this 50g tin is your next essential.
From the first light, you're greeted with notes of toasted grains, subtle dark fruit, and earthy spice. The Virginia brings a natural sweetness—bready and mellow—while the Kentucky and Burley offer depth, body, and a touch of smoky backbone.
Burns cool and steady with a refined, old-world character. There's a gentle nutty bitterness and faint leathery undertone that develops as the bowl deepens—perfect for those who appreciate nuance over noise.
