Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug
(3.47)
A full bodied, medium to full strength pressed flake. Very complex from start to finish with a well balanced taste that is both boldly spicy and subtlety sweet.

Great virginia tobacco. One of my favorite straight VA's. Just pure, sweet va. flake. Is it at good as Hal-O-Wind, Full Va Flake, Best Brown and Blackwoods(my other favorite straight VA's)....maybe? They all are a bit different, but all excellent, non-bite-ing and delicious. My advice to the new pipe smoker: sit back, dont rush it, dry out just enough tobacco to fill a bowl (let a flake sit out for 20-45 minutes), rub it out and enjoy. Here is where the novice makes a mistake...they form an opinion after a bowl or two of tobacco. My personal advice is to finish at least a full tin of tobacco prior to moving on. In other words, finish the tin you started prior to trying a new tobacco, smoke 10-20- bowls of the same tobacco prior to subjecting your pallet to a different blend. I used to smoke several blends in a given week...now I concentrate on one blend at a time, it takes a bit longer to experience the hundreds of blends out there, but is is well worth it. Try GL Pease Cumberland exactly that way....probably the best blend on the planet earth without exception.

Having been on a search and destroy mission through the wonderful world of Virginias, I have gone through at least 25 within the last 4 months. Most I have liked.....several I have loved. This one I love. This one has by far the best tin presentation. These frail flakes are a work of art. They are perfectly formed, and perfectly packed. The tin aroma is just sweet Virginia tobacco. I have smoked this blend folded, and well rubbed out. Makes no difference. This blend lights easy, burns great, smokes cool,no re-lights to the bottom of the bowl.The taste........mild, sweet, natural. Just what I have been looking for! My only regret is that I have not found CVP in bulk, but I guess for something this good I will bight the bullit and pony up the cash to stock my cellar. I can't imagine not having this around. It may become a "go to" blend. At least a * * * *

Very good flake! Beautiful out of the tin, perfect pieces of uniform flakes a joy to look at out of the box. Smokes great in any size pipe. I usually just rub it out ever so slightly and put a flake in the pipe, that works real well! Can also be fully rubbed out for smaller bowl pipes. Great natural virginia taste and recommended. would age great!

An outstanding Golden Virginia Flake of the highest quality. This is yummy! The flakes are not so pressed together that I can't get them apart. They rub out well,and light easy. I too am reminded of Capstan Blue with this flake tobacco. The sweetness of the leaf,and round whole taste of the Virginia makes this pipe tobacco a real winner.Most highly recomended.

Note that above it should read: "One of my favorites, I would smoke this regularly if I could". CVP is, alas, not available in my home country, nor through my regular online store, Dan Pipe.
I have so far discovered three excellent virginia flakes: Dunhill Flake, Peterson's University Flake and Hamborger Veermaster. Cut Virginia Plug is even better than they are. It's smooth but never dull, its delicious sweetness is natural, not achieved through chemical additives or casings, and this tobaccos behaves very well at all times: no bite, and a consistent burn.
If I had access to this stuff constantly it would be one of my most smoked tobaccos.

My first F&T blend. I really like this stuff. Not too comples but has some complexity. Lovely taste and gets a little spicy toward the end. Comes in sheets that are very easily rubbed out. Took 2 lights and I was off. I will keep coming back to this. Next I will try Negrohead(blackjack here in North America). Also an F&T blend. 41/2 stars
