[QUOTE="Segovia, post: 550503, member: 4501"] Dunhill Royal Yacht and Elizabethan Mixture have always worked for me as comfort food, I'm expecting the Peterson versions to be pretty much the same once they have a little age on. But I am also fine with a bowl of Half & Half or one of the other American Geezer Blends. If we want to look at gourmet (these days), then I would point to the various UK plugs which are mostly no longer in production AFAIK: Velvan, Warrior, Mick McQuaid, Erinmore, Yachtsman (this one is still available from James Fox in Ireland). All of them are wonderful examples of just how good pipe tobacco can be. I've found that the trick with plugs is not to slice them into flakes, else you might as well have just bought a flake. You take a sharp knife and start at one end chipping bits from the corners across the grain/layers and wind up with some amazing flavors. [/QUOTE]
