The Coniston cut plug tobacco is a blend containing dark fired leaf, Malawi, Burley with a small addition of Virginia tobacco leaves, which produces a strong smoke dominated by a pungent characterful, burnt, smokey, flavour derived from the fired leaf.
Cut Plug Tobacco: The Coniston Cut Plug is sold in Sliced Plug form. Plug is produced by fermenting leaves under pressure to form a cake. This is then divided up into Plugs, that require slicing and rubbing depending on the desired burn rate. Cut Plug is basically pre sliced plug ready for rubbing. Due to fermentation under heat and pressure plug tends to be full bodied and would only be recommended for the experienced smoker.
