My Plug Cutter

[clynch]

This is my plug cutter. Got it at a gun and knife show. Couple of older guys in Lower Alabama forge knives for fun and profit. Note the Wasp nest inside the handle. The gun is so you can estimate size (vice a coin). Plus its cool! Having said that I'm still a noob and have yet to purchase my first plug. Just can't decide on a plug.

Very nice knife! I normally recommend Peterson 3P's as a first plug. Although it contains burley, the style of flavoring is reminiscent of the hard to get Irish plugs: my old favorites were Mick Macquarie and Garryowen.

That should be Mick McQuaid in previous post. Sorry.

That's a real selection of gun and knife. Either Gawith and Hogarth or Germain's make some nice ropes, particularly the Brown XXX. Can be very strong to people who are not used to it.

I'd like to try a strong one. Thanks

Beautiful knife! I really like the Damascus steel. I am new to smoking plug tobacco also. Just picked up some vintage GLP Gas Light and Jackknife plug. I’m
going to smoke some later this week.

Damascus steel is always interesting to look at—I thought about getting a Lone Wolf slide made out of it, but, couldn't justify the expense. Maybe someday.

Thanks. I'll look into it

Do post your evaluation on your first plug. Love to hear it.
