To be a manly blend it must first be Burley or Burley-based.

War Horse Ready Rubbed fits the bill very well.

War Horse Ready Rubbed is for smoking, War Horse Bar is for lunch.

A Toscano Originale cigar and for pipe tobacco Captain Black White. Those are the two opposites of the manly spectrum, both are manly but in different contexts. :nana:

I'd have to go with G&H Brown Twist Sliced (same blend as Happy Brown Bogie). Black Irish X is pretty close...actually it might win since you need a knife to cut it, or maybe your teeth if you're extra manly.
It isn't as strong, but Jack Knife Plug is pretty manly as well.

There's several more stanzas to this poem- this is the final one:
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

anthony416,

OK, my 2c, it is not the tobacco but the preparation. Carving up a plug tobacco with your trusty Bowie hunting knife must be the path to manliness!!

This is how I remember my Grandfather. He'd carve off a few chunks of Days'o Work or like that, and then rub it up in his massive hands, and then load it and smoke it.

Cockstrong....but just because of the name. I’ve never actually tried it. Could be a good substitute for Viagra!

Here’s an excerpt from a review on Tobacco Reviews on SG Black Irish X:
It's a big world, and there is room for all manner of styles and tastes, yet I cannot for a moment imagine anyone enjoying this. It is downright brutal in its assault on the senses, and brings shame to our gentle art.

I love ropes. Black Twist XX and ODF mixed 50/50 is a nice morning smoke with a cup of coffee.
