How to Use Plug Tobacco
-
Slice the Plug: Plug tobacco comes in a dense, compressed block. Use a sharp knife to cut thin slices, also known as flakes, from the plug. The thickness of the slices can vary depending on your preference—thicker slices burn slower, while thinner slices burn more evenly.
-
Rub Out the Tobacco: Once sliced, take the pieces and rub them between your fingers to break them up into smaller strands. Some smokers prefer to leave the tobacco in larger chunks for a slower burn, while others rub it out finely for an easier, more even light.
-
Pack the Pipe: Gently fill your pipe with the prepared tobacco. Start with a loose layer at the bottom and gradually pack it slightly firmer as you go, ensuring good airflow. Be careful not to pack it too tightly, as this can restrict the draw.
-
Light the Tobacco: Use a match or lighter to evenly light the tobacco, taking gentle puffs as you light it. You may need to tamp the tobacco gently with a tamper to keep it burning evenly.
-
Enjoy the Smoke: Once lit, enjoy the slow, rich smoke that plug tobacco provides. Take slow, measured puffs to avoid overheating the pipe or the tobacco.
Plug tobacco offers a rich and long-lasting smoking experience, and its preparation allows for a more personalised smoke.
