Synjeco 1941 – Virginia No. 3 Plug

Straight Virginia Plug · 250 g

Synjeco 1941 – Virginia No. 3 Plug is the solid‑plug presentation of Synjeco’s Virginia No. 3 blend, created for smokers who appreciate traditional formats and the deeper maturation that only a tightly pressed plug can provide. Produced by Synjeco SA (Switzerland), this blend is made entirely from four different Bright Virginia tobaccos, selected for harmony, sweetness, and clarity of flavor.

Sold as a 250‑gram block, the plug format allows the Virginias to ferment and marry slowly under pressure, enhancing richness and aging potential compared to flake or ribbon cuts.

Blend Composition

• Tobaccos: Four Bright Virginias
• Cut: Plug (solid, uncut)
• Style: Straight Virginia
• Strength: Medium to medium‑strong
• Flavoring: None (pure tobacco)
• Packaging: 250 g box

Virginia No. 3 is expressly designed as a pure Virginia expression, intended to showcase natural leaf character without casing or added flavorings. 

Flavor Profile

In plug form, Virginia No. 3 develops a slightly darker, rounder character than its flake counterpart. Typical notes include:

• Natural hay and fresh‑cut grass
• Light citrus and gentle acidity
• Warm bread and subtle honeyed sweetness
• Increasing depth and cohesion as the bowl progresses

The dense pressing slows combustion and releases flavor gradually, rewarding careful slicing and a relaxed smoking cadence.

Smoking Characteristics

• Full control over preparation and thickness of slices
• Cool, slow burn when properly dried
• Clean finish with minimal harshness
• Excellent long‑term aging potential, with sweetness and complexity increasing over time

The plug format is especially valued by experienced smokers for its versatility and capacity for extended cellaring.

Intended Audience

Virginia No. 3 Plug is ideal for dedicated Virginia enthusiasts and traditionalists who enjoy hands‑on preparation and nuanced leaf evolution. It is particularly well suited for smokers who appreciate long smokes, cellar aging, and the tactile ritual of cutting tobacco directly from the block.

Format

• 250 grams, factory‑sealed plug box
• Synjeco is known for supplying Virginia plugs in this large, traditional format rather than pre‑cut portions
