After doing the Virginia tonka experiment I thought, "Man, I bet this will match perfect with Grateful Plug!"

Well say no more! It is done! Tonka/molasses version of 200g Grateful Plug stoved for 7 hours at 200 F

Tonka/Molasses Grateful Plug

This is a blend of 100g Bright Virginia cased with Tonka bean casing and 100g burley cased with molassas casing.

Update: Couldn't wait . . . it is fantastic!
