Salty Dogs

Salty Dogs is a classic plug blend tied to seafaring tradition. Selected sweet Virginia grades and a small amount of perique are flavored with Caribbean rum and pressed into pocket-sized blocks, aged for a long time under press. The result is a dark brown, tightly textured tobacco.

The smoke is cool and soft; Virginia's sweetness combines with the dark sugar tone from the rum, while perique adds a peppery spice. Being plug, it needs to be sliced and rubbed out before packing, meaning extra work before filling. It suits those seeking the pressed Virginia/perique structure and lightly flavored navy-style tobaccos.
