Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Mick McQuaid Square Cut
(2.92)
High quality Virginia leaf is used to produce a robust tobacco that is slow burning due to the cube cut and perfect for the outdoors. Medium Strength with a mild long lasting flavour and aroma.
Notes: Originally blended by P.J.Carroll & Co Ltd, Dundalk, Ireland and Murray & Sons Ltd, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Available in Europe, not in the U.S.
Mick McQuaid was the hero of a series of comic tales published in Irish story papers in the latter half of the 19th century and the early years of the last century. He was a quick thinking, wise cracking chancer of a man who usually triumphed (eventually) over authority. Such was the popularity of these tales that Carrolls of Dundalk named a tobacco after him in 1889.

This review is on a tin , (not a full tin) smoked about 12 years ago and I can't see it improving .this stuff was unsmokeable for me , I was an experienced smoker , I found it to be harsh , gave me the feeling of having a head cold , never smoked piss soaked cardboard but that's probably a good analogy out of the hundred or so different tobaccos I have smoked have only dumped 2 this is one of them , sorry if this review isn't very helpful , oh flavouring maybe vinegar.

Not being a son of Erin, except in the holidays, I had not tried this tobacco before. I love the Plug...it's one of the greatest tobacco's you will ever ever smoke...but this is, well nothing really. You can't believe that the two share a familial relationship. To paraphrase Briar Chef...the Plug is awesome stuff....this is just stuff. I'd avoid it.
