🔹 Overview

JackKnife Plug is part of G. L. Pease’s New World Collection, a series celebrating bold, traditional American-style blends. This is a dense plug tobacco crafted for smokers who enjoy full-bodied, earthy flavors and the ritual of slicing and preparing their smoke.

🌿 Composition & Cut

• Tobaccos:
  • Dark-Fired Kentucky – provides smoky, meaty depth and strength.
  • Bright & Red Virginias – add natural sweetness and tangy complexity.
• Cut: Plug format—a solid block of pressed leaf. Requires slicing or rubbing out before smoking, offering flexibility in preparation and a slow, cool burn.

🍂 Flavor Profile

• Tin Note: Rich, earthy aroma with smoky undertones, hints of leather, and a subtle natural sweetness.
• Taste:
  • First Light: Bold, smoky Kentucky with a touch of Virginia sweetness.
  • Mid-Bowl: Deep, earthy flavors develop—woody, slightly spicy, with a hint of tang from the Virginias.
  • Finish: Strong, dry, and satisfying with lingering smokiness and natural tobacco sweetness.
• Overall Character: A robust, traditional blend—powerful yet balanced, ideal for seasoned smokers.

🧭 Strength & Room Note

• Strength: Medium-strong to strong (nicotine is significant).
• Flavor Intensity: Full-bodied and hearty.
• Room Note: Smoky and robust—typical of dark-fired blends.

🔥 Smoking Experience

• Burn Quality: Cool and slow when sliced thin and packed properly.
• Moisture: Usually ready to smoke; a short dry time after slicing can improve performance.
• Technique: Slice to desired thickness—thin for quicker burn, thicker for a longer, richer smoke.

🌟 Aging Potential

• Ages exceptionally well—cellaring enhances sweetness and smooths the bold Kentucky character. Many enthusiasts recommend 3–5 years for peak complexity.

📦 Packaging

• Tin Size: 2 oz (≈56.7 g), also available in 8 oz tins.
• Presentation: Dense plug inside a round tin, wrapped in paper.

JackKnife Plug is perfect for smokers who appreciate strong, earthy blends and the hands-on preparation of plug tobacco. It’s a bold, satisfying smoke for cool evenings or contemplative moments.
