I just got my first pouch of Salty Dogs. Quick question for the salty vets out there. Are the pouches good enough for cellaring purposes, or do I need to treat it like Esoterica bags?
Whenever I buy mason jars, my wife instantly knows I've purchased more tobacco. I've started buying more jars than I need at a time...because I know I'll need them later.
The only thing I don't like about plugs is when you get down to the end on the plug. My knife skills are nil and trying to make the last two cuts are nerve wracking.Like everyone else, I play it safe with mason jars--once a pouch is opened. Unopened, I leave pouches intact but store them in air-tight canisters or bail tops. Consider that there are two levels of seals/protection when it comes to plugs: the primary outer pouch and inside that is a cellophane wrapper containing the lurvly plug.
Tangent warning. Don't you guys love plugs?! The smoke and flavour they produce is remarkably thick, rich, deep and smooth. And cool, too. Never once been bit or concerned with hot smoke from a plug.
Hope you enjoy your plugs, Nate!

You could cube cut it. Or, put it up against something to stabilize it while keeping your fingers clear.
Until you get to the end of that and have an even tinier cube of tobacco to cut.When the plug gets small enough that I have to worry about cutting it, I just lay it down and start slicing off the short end. Easy cube cut.
