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.

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!

I have alot of praise for all blenders that produce tobaccos that ooze quality in their natural state. VA cut plug is dense brick of natural flake, that emits aromas reminiscent of prunes and brown sugar. I love the fact that upon opening of the tin I was able to see that this tobacco was topping and scent free. I have smoked this blend in both a very large Nording and a Peterson rusticated 80s. In both pipes the tobacco preforms like a true VA champ. This sliced flakes are easily rubbed out and, though the tobacco is a bit moist- there is no problem keeping this one lit. I only had to relight twice while using my Nording and the Peterson did not require one at all. The only thing that I have to say about this tobacco in a negative sense is the fact that it is a bit too mild for my taste, in both overall flavor and nicotine. I have become much more partial to tobaccos of the stronger variety. The subtleness of this VA reminds me of an oaky chardonnay, a bit sweet yet dissapears from the palet almost immediately. I like to smoke this tobacco for a change of pace, when I want to have something other than Dark Kentucky or some heavy English blend. If you know someone who wants to get into the world of pipe smoking then this one would be a wonderful choice. Great taste and will never bite.

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

Although I agree that this is indeed similiar to Capstan Medium, I feel it is inferior due to the lack of consistency. At best it is a nice enough medium VA flake. At its worse it is a bowlful of molten steel. I could really find no rhyme nor reason for this and don't plan on exploring the issue further.
