Let’s Talk Plug…

[smudgersmissingleg]

Revor, Warrior, Mick McQuaide, Salty Dogs, PPP, Full Virginia, St James, RB and Dark XX are all plugs that I enjoy.
I've got a couple of tins of the Mac Baren Old Dark Fired Plug special edition they released a few years back but I haven't tried it yet.

I'd like to try Velvan and Erinmore plug and I wish Gawith would release Ennerdale in a plug form.

Just like @smudgersmissingleg my top 4 are the same. I do also enjoy GH Dark Plug and have yet to try Velvan plug, a few pouches of which I was lucky enough to score at Powell's music shop in Galway on a trip to Ireland a few years back.

Don't like plugs. Now that my arthritis is really kicking in, I like it even less.

Now that I can understand.

3P’s, Salty Dog and Wessex Gold Brick for me.

RB’s a good one, I haven’t had any of that for a while.

Definitely would love to try Condor and Erinmore plug but I reckon that those who have some and going to shout about it! ??
Condor plug is available in Ireland but it is almost prohibitively expensive for 25g’s of the stuff and I worry the new version won’t be as good as I hope it will be.

Yessir, I was stocking up on Condor Plug all throughout 2016/17. It seemed like every time I ordered the price would increase. I ordered 30 plugs per order, they got to really like my money there, they always ordered more Condor so they would have it on hand when it came time for my order again. It’s a shame the price is so high now but if I were out of it, I would still order a 10 pack or so of the current stuff, I think it’s still one of the best plugs on the market… just order a pack of ten… come on, you deserve it!

Now if only we could get Mac Baren to release a limited St. Bruno plug! I’d be all over that release!!!

Erinmore Plug and Salty Dogs makes a right nice chewing plug.

Never got into the chewing side of tobacco, too much spitting.

Never found the need to spit with chew.

Iron gut? Juice down the hatch?

 

[condorlover1]

I don't usually spit if I am in NYC since you can (a) get ticketed for doing so (b) set upon by an outraged woke person with a cervix!

 

[--dante--]

For me: Salty Dogs, 3P's, G&H Dark Plug, and Condor Plug (I have the Polish, never had the Irish).

Wow.....you're amazing, a phenomenon even!

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Heinrich Curly Block is my favorite Plug and VaPer.

Yep

Wow.....you're amazing, a phenomenon even!

Growing up, the tobacco chewers I knew never spit. Didn't even know it was a thing until I saw people spitting in soda cans when I went to college.

Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans! ?

I have Wessex Gold Brick, Peterson 3 P's , Salty Dogs and Curly Block.
I bought a nice heavy hatchet to cut them with. I hardly ever pull them out for fear of losing a finger. The plugs are like bricks and the amount of pressure I have to put into cutting them scares me as I am clumsy as shit with sharp objects. I will have my oldest son carve up a few plugs as he is good with his hands.. I haven't worried about them as they are all aging nicely. My Wessex is from 2012 and 2013 and the others are around 2016-2017 so they are getting there.

What Duane says is about right. The first chew I ever had was Jacksons Apple Jack circa 1979. I chewed it and didn't think to spit since it tasted pretty good to me, sort of like a bunch of nicotine chewing gum. I only saw people spitting into a cup when I visited my cousin in the U.S in 1986. I chewed twist and then let it dry on a hot day before smoking it in my pipe but I only started to spit when I started using that Railroad Dry Scotch snuff. I have been ticketed in NYC for spitting Levi Garrett onto the subway tracks once.

Plugs, rope, good, but don't gots none rat now.

Curious as to how folks dry their tobacco? Before or after cutting? Not at all?
