Great smoking tobacco. Great taste, a little soapy, but not so much that you can feel it in your nose. Complex medium-strong flavor and room note-it is not overwhelming. Perfect level of harshness, for me, that is, a little easier on the lungs than a birdseye and it won't burn your tongue or cheeks. Stays lit well, chews okay, with a pleasant flavor. If you like to roll tobacco, this is where bosun cut plug really shines. Take a pinch and leave it on the counter for an hour or two and it rolls and smokes beautifully. It's not safe to smoke a pipe while driving a semi-truck, so this is important to me, and this plug might be my new favorite. I'm going to be smoking a lot of this, I can tell.
