Would anybody be willing to snag this and put up a review? I didn't see a "not for human consumption" disclaimer anywhere in the description so I'm guessing dipping a chunk of this twisted plug is fair game. Looks like it woulda been mighty tasty, is there a modern day equivalent?

Being it's petrified I'm doubting you could chew it but here's a modern day equivalent.

Cotton Boll Plug

We have a local civil war museum that has one of those on display with some clay pipes. Can't say I had any desire to chew it, smoke it or do anything with it. Cool for the collection though.

With what aged tobaccos are going for this should be the Holy Grail!! :cheers:
