About a year ago I obtained some Velvan Plug and as I smoked it I thought it seemed kinda familiar. Checked my Peterson's 3P and it looked, smelled and tasted the same as the Velvan. Ok, so yesterday I opened a pouch of Salty Dogs, and low and behold, it looked, smelled and tasted the same as the previously mentioned plugs. This was a surprise to me as many of reviews I had read said it could be easily broken off and rubbed out by hand. All three of these plugs are very hard and compressed to the point that the only way to prepare them is to cut it with a sharp knife. So somewhere along the line Salty Dogs must have changed. I've heard that at least two of them are made in Denmark now, so maybe all of them are, and are indeed the same tobacco. I know the constituent tobaccos in these are supposed to differ, but for the life of me, I can't tell them apart.
I doubt that anyone has these three plugs on hand that have been purchased in the last year. So asking for another comparison might be a bit of a stretch. Maybe someone has some knowledge of if they are all the same now, even though the tobaccos used in the blends are stated as being different.
Here's a photo of all three together: from the left, Petersons 3P, Velvan Plug, and Salty Dogs.
