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

味道太美了以后的主粮
Product: Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs 50g
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.

它的甜味不会很快出现，一点火会有杏仁的味道，过一会就会有隐隐约约的甜味在嗓子里出现，和FVF不一样 是一种神秘的甜味，非常有趣

劲道2.8 饱满度3.0 室韵3.0，口粮VP
Dan家的主打纯V，VP调配，劲道及P草强度都很适宜，整体的醇厚感很好，甜度中等，果味浓郁，前中后段变化不大，官方说这是一款朗姆酒调味的VP，但是朗姆酒的酒韵几乎没有感知到。除了烟砖相对比较麻烦以及醒草比较慢，作为一款全天可以享用的口粮V草，非常合格

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

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

I'm new to pipe smoking as well. This is my first plug and I was blown away. I've tried a handful of flakes, English and aromatic, and, so far, nothing else compares to this. I just bought more. It's creamy, mild, a musty flavor, white plumes of bill... Read More

Product: Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs 50g
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.

d it was twenty bucks for a 50 g package, but I was intrigued by the description and it was one of the Dan tobaccos that I chose. While I love VaPers, and Navy blends I didn’t know what to expect. I opened the package and saw the tiny dense brick and thought, wow!……not much tobacco for $20……it better be good! Loaded a bowl, and started smoking just before I started writing this. Oh My God!!! What an incredible tobacco!!! If you love VaPers and a good Navy blend, this tobacco is on a whole other Levet than any I’ve smoked before! Simply a MUST try!!! Can’t say enough good things about it! It’s already out of stock, and I can see why. Can’t wait till I can get sone more! Read Less

Prepping this richly dense plug is part of the enjoyment leading up to a pleasant smoking experience. A little on the pricey side, but well worth it.
Product: Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs 50g
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.
