I tried this because I was looking for a no to low carb snack. Jerky has sugar added, Tastes like bland sausage. Could not taste the smoke. Put them in a smoker for a couple of hours with some hickory. Did not help (?synthetic casing?). Had 3 total. Rest to the neighbor's dog.

I've purchased the original recipe several times. These are a great on the go snack to get more protein in each day. I buy the boxes with the 2.5oz pkgs and keep them in my desk at work. I love the flavor and the texture and that they're not full of junk ingredients.

I found this product to be extremely hard, almost like it dried out or something. I tossed the package in the trash. I had bought this product in other stores and found them to be really good. They were not hard but soft and easy to chew. I will not buy these at Sams any more.

Just clarifying again that my local super market only carries this flavor, the Hatch Chile, and the Hot and Spicy flavors. So those are the only three I've tried. The original is great and full of flavor. I body build and having low carb, high protein snacks when I'm cutting is what I need and Duke's is my go-to snack. So far, this is my least favorite flavor, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Not at all. It's better than many other brands I've tried, and I've tried quite a lot over the years.

I just got a bag of the original Shortys yesterday! Wow, they are delicious. They had a wonderful smoothly blended flavor!! The only problem I had with them was that they ran out(the bag was gone within an hour!!) LOL! Very good product. I like the small batch concept as well!!

I like these (I'm referring to the Original Flavor Duke's Shorty Sausages). Flavor is good - not as smoky as I'd like but I can live with it. Lean, tender, nice size for helping you with portion control. I have read the all other customer reviews, some of which made mention of the presence of mold. I've been through about 7 packages so far, and have not had this problem. But it IS something to be aware of, and as such I will keep an eye out for it and be careful to hang on to my receipt if there's a problem.

I've been buying Duke's sausages for years. I think you're missing a big market. Because of your premium ingedeints and lack of preservatives I have been sharing them with my chihuahua, Pedro. He loves them as did my prior dog, Tyco. Start selling them in pet stores "for man or beast". They're cheaper and better than most dog treats.

I just got a bag of these sausages for the first time and when I opened the bag it smelled like an overdose of preservatives. Then I took a bite out of one and it didn't taste anything like a smoked sausage. It tasted worse than it smelled so I tried to give it to my dogs and they wouldn't even eat it that's just how bad they taste

These are tasty and satisfying. Good for hiking energy.

Awesome every day deal!! My son loves Duke's sausages. This is 3 bags for the price of one.
