Synjeco 1941 – Virginia No. 2 Plug

Straight Virginia Plug · 250 g

Synjeco 1941 – Virginia No. 2 Plug is a traditional straight‑Virginia plug from Swiss producer Synjeco SA, presented in a substantial 250‑gram block for smokers who value deep fermentation, slow development, and hands‑on preparation. As part of Synjeco’s Virginia series, No. 2 is designed to emphasize richness and maturity, offering a darker and rounder Virginia character than the brighter, more vivid Virginia No. 3.

Pressed into a dense plug, the tobaccos are allowed to marry under pressure, enhancing cohesion and aging potential while preserving the natural character of the leaf.

Blend Composition

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

Synjeco’s plug tobaccos are intentionally sold in large formats, reflecting traditional European practice and catering to long‑term cellaring and personalized preparation.

Flavor Profile

Virginia No. 2 focuses on depth rather than brightness, producing a fuller and more mellow smoke. Typical characteristics include:

• Warm, bready sweetness
• Darker fruit undertones
• Gentle natural acidity balanced by body
• A smooth, rounded progression toward the end of the bowl

The plug format slows combustion and releases flavor gradually, allowing the Virginias to unfold patiently rather than assertively.

Smoking Characteristics

• Complete control over slice thickness and preparation
• Cool, slow burn when properly dried
• Clean, natural aroma without casing
• Excellent aging potential, with increasing smoothness and sweetness over time

Compared to flake or ribbon cuts, the plug offers a more cohesive and contemplative smoking experience.

Intended Audience

Virginia No. 2 Plug is made for dedicated Virginia smokers who enjoy richer, less sharp profiles and prefer traditional formats. It is especially suited to smokers who appreciate the ritual of cutting tobacco by hand and who plan to cellar their tobacco for long‑term maturation.
