Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) Mick McQuaid Plug
(3.44)
A hot-pressed plug of Virginia and burley with a fruity topping, which smells divine as soon as you open the pouch. It smokes velvety smooth and produces billows of thick, creamy smoke. The liquor topping creates an almond aroma and a sweet taste.

This is a great tasting tobacco, very easy to smoke and enjoy, with a beautiful full mouthfeel and a moreish quality. The 'cake' taste is there but it is not some awful fake taste, it is very subtle and natural. I found the blend to have quite a spicy kick to it, presumably from the brandy Unfortunately for me, my palette really struggles with any blend that has been cased with any type of alcohol. It begins to burn my mouth, like when you have had a shot of something. It is really weird but it happened with Scottish mixture too. The warming sensation is not unpleasant, but for me it gets in the way of the overall enjoyment of the smoke.
I'd recommend this to anyone as it is a great tobacco, but personally for me it is a 2 star

Meh...
This was ok I suppose. However it wasn't as nice as I thought it was going to be based on the reviews.
Hard little dark brown square block of pressed plug that requires a bit of effort to cut. Definitely would advocate rubbing this out to get the best out of it. Forget about trying to smoke this flake style, just didn't work and it really struggled to stay lit.
Difficulties with lighting aside, the smoke was a little similar to Petersons 3P's but not as flavoursome or smooth. Can bite a bit if you aren't careful and I found it to be quite 'liquoricey'. Nicotine content is above average and may be too much for some.
That said maybe I'm just not a plug person.

A really nice almond flavour accompanies this rich tobacco. Slices fairly easily for a plug into oily/waxy flakes which you can rub out if you like. And I would recommend you rub them out as I found this stuff quite hard to light and keep lit.
A good tobacco but more hassle than others of equal or higher quality. A very good price (in the UK, at least) though.
