The more I smoke this, the more I appreciate it. At first I was almost overwhelmed by the fermented smell and taste mixed with the expected figs and grass. But as the tobacco dried out just a bit it got better. My can was blended in Germany, so maybe it was simply too fresh. Experimenting with the flake, I tried cutting it across the grain into roughly 2mm wide strips and then crumbling the stips. It created an elongated cube type cut which loaded and smoked best for me. Straight, plain 'baccy best smoked slowly. The room note has an old fashioned quality tobacco note to it which my wife enjoys. Down side? The price: roughly $30 US for one 50g tin here in Sweden. I simply can't give it 4 stars because I won't be able to smoke it much. For those who can, ENJOY IT!

The flakes are easy to pack and lights without problem. It offers a sweet cool and smooth smoke with somehow fruity flavors. I liked it smoking during day time with a cup of tea or coffe. However it does not wake me up in the morning. As the tin descript?on says it is a light VA flake. I think the less nicotine VA lovers will like it a lot.

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.

After filling a few different sized bowls with Fribour & Treyer's Cut Blended Plug, I noted that the warmth (not actual heat, but 'warmth' as an overal characteristic-- inviting, sweet-ish, un-bitey, etc.). and character were allowed to open up in a rather large, newish Dunhill Group 5 shell briar bent with an almost chimney-depth bowl. I had a long, solitary right down from Connecticut to NY tonight with blustery cool spring evening weather to add a certain romance to the experience.
didn't get any late-bowl gurgle but had to fiddle a bit with clearing the shank of that dastardly nuisance, stray flow-hindering dottle bit.
This blend was purchased at Davidoff and I think had been sitting there for a couple of years, and then stored in my home for for about 3 or 4 more years. It seems to have mellowed to perfection. Also, I enjoy the old-style, the wax paper moisture guard and the minimal size of the tin. Great stuff, middle-of-the-road; if you want something that will bowl you over, skip this one. but if you want a straight ahed smo
