Not having smoked the previous version I really enjoy the current. Nice rich smoke, no bite and one thing I like about plugs is that a bowl of this provides me a nice long smoke. My tins as well as the Irish Flake tins show a production date of January 10, 2019.

@hawky54 two reviews on TR state categorically that Salty Dogs is made by Orlik (STG) but I do not believe this is true. Ropers Roundels is, as the Orllick plant has the old equipment used to make Escudo. I see no need for Dan to farm out Salty Dogs as the Legg presses were commonly used to make Irish and English plugs.

oldgeezersmoker, that’s probably where I got the idear planted in my head.
3rdguy, noice pics! Appears to look the same as it did before.

@Hawky, Thank for the info on the G&H Rum an' Maple, will keep that in mind, btw, G&H has renamed few of their blends sold in

England, among others Rich dark HoneyDew , Rum Flake were renamed due to EU regulations.

Hate to say this but Salty Dogs and Ropers Roundels are not made at DTM. They indeed come from Orlik. I have been several times at DTM in Lauenburg and sadly those wonderful Legg presses are almost not used.. It is cheaper to import the tobacco than to make it themselves.

 

[oldgeezersmoker]

Oh well.

And I hate to disagree, but the origin statement on my Salty Dogg's says handmade in Germany.On a product imported into the US, a false origin statement is criminal. I have always been under the impression that Orlik was not located in Germany.

I just now, right before typing this, smoked my first bowl of Irish Flake and WOW. That is some strong stuff. I was expecting just strong tobacco taste, but was pleasantly surprised by an underlying herbal zing with a hint of sweetness. That is some damn fine tobacco. A+
