I don't get it.
December 14, 2016
Product: Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs 50g
I don't understand why this cost more than other VA/Per. It smokes well, good body, but has next to no flavor, and I ended up smoking it all just to get rid of it. Good enough not to throw away, but not good enough for me to buy again.
Now This is Proper.

This is an excellent plug tobacco and the only one that I know of that consists of Virginia and Perique. The flavoring is very mild and just help to accentuate the flavors of the natural leaf. I like to cut thick flakes and loosely rub it out and pac... Read More
k it into a large chamber so the flakes can expand without tightening up the draw. This has all the rich and dark depth you would expect from a plug tobacco and the nicotine is in the medium range. The price? The price to get a 50g plug in the States is just ridiculous and is the only thing keeping me from cellaring this one deep. If you are a fan of plugs I would say ya have to try it at least once. I'm hoping that the price will drop significantly like what we saw happen just recently with St. Bruno. If I could afford it, I would make this an everyday smoke. Good stuff! Read Less

Absolutely loved it! I cut a slice about as thick as a ribbon cut, rubbed it out leaving it a bit chunky, packed it just tight enough to keep it lit and it smoked smooth, and cool! The smell and flavor are perfect for my taste, pleasant and not over... Read More

Sweet and Salty
May 09, 2020
Product: Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs 50g
Salty Dogs is probably one of the most esoteric plug tobaccos on the market. You really have to focus on this one to “get it.” It’s subtle in its characteristic Va/Per sweetness yet the periques have a salty tang. The yeasty, figgy notes come on stro... Read More
ng then rapidly dissipate. Despite these subtle qualities, the smoke is full-bodied. The plug responds very favorably to being jarred and within a few months sugar crystals are everywhere. Excellent blend but I doubt it’ll be everyone’s cup of tea. Read Less

C&D take notes, this is a Plug.

This is a great example of a Navy Plug. The flavor of the Virginia and Perique have melded quite well with the rum adding a subtle sweetness. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star was the price. If you want to try a real Navy Plug I would recommend ... Read More

If you like Virginia this is one tasty plug. Pack it loose and sip it. You do have to let it dry out a little to get a nice sweet smoke. If it wasn’t so expensive could definitely be my every day smoke.
Yo ho, it’s a pirate’s plug for me

I left the hobby years ago and recently returned to find a load of new tobaccos on the market; and some (sadly) gone forever. I spent a few months trying to get a feel for what liked once again, but found that my tastes seem to have changed since las... Read More
t I smoked a pipe. After much sampling and fretting, I finally landed on this force of nature. This is one of the most robust, well balanced, interesting vaper plugs from start to finish. I love these, and plan to buy them all up before the rest of you knaves get the chance. Read Less

What All VA/Pers Should Be Judged By - Best On The Market
May 25, 2019
Product: Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs 50g
The pouch aroma is very similar to Escudo but delivers a tastier & stronger Vitamin N blast. I've been out of the pipe hobby for around 5-6 years & decided to make a comeback because I missed the varied flavors of pipe tobacco blends. I barely detect... Read More
ed the Rum aroma but noticed a slight hint of it from a whiff. It is a very dark, hard & moist block. It is very well sealed within a small plastic bag within another well sealed plastic container inside the pouch. It should last for years as packaged. Initially, I tasted both varietals in the first puff along with the slight Rum infusion. I noted the Virginia, noticed very little Rum but it probably added the slight sweetness to the blend along with the natural sweetness of VA & a slight, sweet, fruity note from the medium apportioned Perique. Very well prepared & is a fairly potent blend, well processed & closer to the strong threshold. I shaved it from the end with a sharp blade, dried it to an almost crispy state & stoked a small bowl. Burns better if properly dried out and smokes down to a dry, gray dottle. This is the best VA/Per selection on the market & I reach for it on a regular basis. This plug is the best of the best & well worth the additional cost, IMHO, of course. The only VA/Per I smoke because nothing else compares & I thought the Dunhill VA/Per Navy Rolls were awful & trashed them. Escudo is far better than Dunhill Navy Rolls. Most other VA/Pers are a bit too wimpy to suit me but "This one was just right!" As far as I'm concerned, this is now the King of VA/Pers since the original Bell's Three Nuns is obsolete. None better! Read Less
Go old school on this one

My advise is to smoke it in a clay pipe. Shag it out like a sailor and just go old school. Expensive, yes so make it last by treating yourself to a little at a time. good to smoke when you have a small window of time and want a quick smoke. Very crea... Read More

Smoking this now in a Dagner-MM cob, gravity fed after prep of course! I prep or slice this plug by cutting the plug in half, lengthwise, then use a cigar cutter to slice off thin slices from the lengthwise sliced blocks. Gravity feed the bowl to t... Read More
he top with these little slices and go. It takes a few lights to get going but the payoff is a very smooth VA with a touch of perique pepper showing up throughout the smoke. No bite, long smoke, medium nic. The rum casing is barely noticed during the smoke and more evident in the aroma during prep/slicing.
Yes, it is expensive but well worth the experience in prep and smoke. There's an awful lot of smoking pleasure in that little 50gm block. I'm very impressed with it each time I burn this plug! Thank You DTM and SP for making this a reality for us US Burners! Read Less

moking, though you certainly catch a wiff of it while slicing. I do let it dry a bit after cutting, and after doing so it burns perfectly. As previously noted, it is expensive. I personally think it's worth it though. If you like the Pease plugs, I highly suggest this one. It's very pleasant. Read Less

I love Salty Dogs. At first it took a while to figure out how to prepare it to fully utilize high quality leaf. I find this stuff smokes best rough cut. A little more rubbed out than a broken flake. This is a fruitier and very tangy VaPer, well ba... Read More
lanced with a bit of spiciness from the perique. I'd give it a 5 out of 5, unfortunately there are so many fantastic virginia/perique blends out there that it just isn't worth buying again anytime soon at this price point. Definitely a must try though. Read Less

Having had a 6 year membership to Uncle Sam’s canoe club (for you pollywogs I’m referring to the US Navy) I’ll admit there was a bit a nostalgia that pushed me to acquire this rum infused VaPer plug. I’m happy to report I have no regrets forking over... Read More
a considerable wad of cash for a hard lump of tobacco and which some might view as a misguided act. In comparison to Escudo (which my girlfriend is jealous of since I sleep with a tin under my pillow at night since I’ve been carrying on a torrid affair with Escudo some time now) the perique in Salty Dogs likes to come off the porch to give the mailman a slight scare. It burns cool and I doubt these dogs will ever bite my tongue. When it comes to Vitamin N I’ll admit I’m a lightweight, so I definitely got a bit buzzed by this delicious tasting VaPer. My advice – go for it. You only live once. Read Less

Before I begin, I have to say that there are well-known VaPers out there that I have yet to try just because there is just so many blends out there. I haven't tried Escudo, just to name one.
Salty Dogs is a flavorful one. Needs some dry time once s... Read More
licing off flakes. I rub mine out. I tend to kind of shave off the pieces and you have to try and get as much of an even amount as possible so you get the right flavor.
I like the spiciness of this blend. It's got more Perique than most VaPers. You feel the pepper on the retrohales and sometimes in the mouthfeel. The Virginias, I have mixed tastes with, but if you get the proper cuts during preparation you'll likely have success. I get some sweet stewy fruit flavors (dark fruit). This blend is also savory, I might add, which was unexpected, for me. There is a meaty quality to it. There have been instances where I have gotten cocoa/high cacao percentage flavors from the smoke towards the beginning of the bowl. As the bowl progresses it takes on a brownie-like chocolate taste, which can be light on the palate. There is somewhat of a molasses taste in the background. I don't get an obvious rum taste, but maybe some flavors associated with a sweeter Caribbean rum. It's just not obvious. I am a navy blend fan, so I was looking for it. I wish there was more rum, and that might be the only negative I can claim with this blend. I get a rum aftertaste (just a little) when I am finished smoking this.
The nicotine hit may come as you get down the bowl. Don't be deceived. I smoke this is small bowls as suggested. Have a drink handy. I would buy this again, because I find it tasty and strong enough, and thus satisfying. Read Less

A nice plug that cuts and rubs easily. It can burn a little hot. A little rum flavour is good! If you like plugs, try this. A little pricey compared to similar plugs. Peterson plug is more worth the price and similar. Still, great stuff.

Wouldn't classify this as a full aro. There is indeed an hint of rum aroma, especially from the plug and when slicing it. But when smoked, it's a straight up VaPer. And an excellent one at that. Highly recommend, but the price point makes it a pricey... Read More
