[QUOTE="Wet Dottle, post: 190023, member: 192"] Interesting review, Kyle. Thanks for sharing. I struggled a lot with this blend. The first part was how to cut it. Tried many different approaches, but thanks to someone here (I think it was Hermit's or Yak's suggestion, I don't remembe which) I finally settled on large scissors as the best method to slice the plug. The plug is really a cake, not a plug in the sense of British plugs. That is ok, but was a bit disappointing when opening the first tin, just because I was expecting something else. Then, I could not get any sweetness out of this blend. Tried several different cuts. The tobacco does taste differently with different cuts, and finally settled on thin slices (well, as thin as I could slice them without destroying the integrity of the cake) that I tried to smoke as intact as possible. This seems to maximize the flavor. Also played with moisture levels, but could never get to a point that satisfied me. I think Storm_Crow is right regarding C&D, McClelland, and Virginias. But perhaps what this blend needs is aging. I don't know and I really don't care. You know why? Because I found Triple Play, and that thing is simply delicious. I think the only difference between Jackknife Plug and Triple Play is the addition of Perique, but I must say that it's like the two blends are not even from the same planet. Triple Play is not sweet, either, but I'm sure it will develop to it given enough time. I already have a couple of lb in my cellar. [/QUOTE]
