| This is a beautifully prepared cut plug in flake form, medium brown with streaks of very light leaf. It rubs out, packs and lights easily. It produces a smoke that tastes of lightly sweetened Virginia. There is absolutely no bite and the tobacco burns all the way to the bottom of the bowl with very little tending. This is very, very tasty. The Virginia flavor is very light, but it is constantly there and quite distinctive. This could be the ideal tobacco with which to start the day. I like the F&T tobaccos, and I probably like this one the best. Highly recommended for the Virginia lover who likes it mild, slightly sweet and with no bite. Paddy.

| Extremely good quality tobacco, well presented. Light flavor, very pleasant. Good burn characteristics, nice ash. An all-around good tobacco...
In other words, boring. Also over-priced. And boring.

| Like all F&T "plugs," this is really more like a flake, which is to say it looks, feels and rubs out like a flake. Cut plug tends to be a bit denser in my experience.
The leaf and quality of blending and processing are more than apparent, but this stuff definitely has some sort of topping. There is a slight but noticable floral scent to the flake, and the light-up produces a decidedly soapy taste. (A quick double-check of the product description above confirms this: the "natural flavoring" of which it speaks is probably floral in nature.) This flavor diminishes in the second half of the bowl, but never completely goes away. The taste of the tobacco is first-rate VA, but the Bowl-O'-Lifebuoy sensation rules it out completely for me, sad to say.

| A nicely prepared flake of darker VAs. Easy to pack, light and keep lit. It smokes cool without any bite or moisture buildup although it does get slightly spicy @ the end of the bowl. However, overall it is one of the mildest red VAs that I've smoked. I've been exploring alternatives to the stronger straigh VAs and blends for use in the hot/humid weather and this one fits the bill. I've yet to be disappointed by this manufacturer. Perhaps, that's why they've been around since 1720.
