    Surviving On Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco!

    Big fan of Five Bros, I like the simplicity of a shag cut and the single note flavor. Does anyone know how D&R Two Timer compares? Also like G&H Kendal Mixed, it's kind of the Virginia version of 5 Bros.

    Thanks, that's helpful. There's some of his on Etsy that I'm looking at. I've had some stems in the past that were just too restricted to enjoy, even when packed lightly.
