Carroll P. J. & Co. Ltd. Velvan Plug

I got this tobacco from dublin when I went there for holidays, 2 weeks ago. Of course I visited the legendary Peterson of dublin shop and unfortunately did not make to visit the factory. I do not know if this bakie comes also in ready rubbed form but in the plug form it gives a pleasurable smoke and is a nice procedure to cut the tobacco. It needs some time to get dry after you open the pack. It packs without problems in my barrel vauen ( artistic piece)as for the flavor typical virginia with apricot but not too fruity but sweet.Virginia dominates and cavendish just adds the sugar, i canot find similarities with Yachtsman but it reminds me enrimore plug without the bitterness. Here the burning is slow and smooth without any heat problems. Lastly i found the bottom of the bowl very moist it needs to get dryer I guess.So it pocess all the good characteristics of a plug tobacco. For those who like sherlock holmes style tobaccos is a must, I think. I will not have a chance to buy a new pack of this since I live far away from dublin...but i will survive i guess smoking davidof golden flakes, oak peterson ,night train as a perique lover. +++++Update 21-octo-2008+++++ I know it will sound strange for this kind of tobacco, but i think that there might be perique, or there is something spicy because it also seems different than perique. However to my taste this spicyness is something i do not really like. Even if it contains perique, the combination is no good. Maybe one experienced smoker could find the spicy igredient. I have tried it in two different pipes with the same behaviour
