I had made a comment about wanting to try some Five Brothers here not too long ago, and forum member Weezell sent me a message and was nice enough to send me a pouch. Just smoked some last night and it is some tasty stuff! Pure burley, very earthy, almost tastes like a good cigar. Very very dry out of the pouch, dry and strong, so I just load up and take it to the match. The cut almost reminds me of cigarette tobacco, but it is about the easiest burning tobacco I have ever smoked. The further down in the bowl you get the better it tastes, taking on a sort of caramel, smokey kind of hickory flavor, a little bitter but that good kind of coffee bitter. You've probably heard about the nicotine hit, and man does this stuff pack a whallop. This stuff will put hair on the hair on your chest. Packing this blend was kind of interesting due to how dry it is and how quick it burns. I actually packed much more firmly and used much more tobacco than I usually do because it burns so quickly. If you guys are a fan of Burley smokes and need a good, honest, no frills type of blend and want to get knocked on your ass with nicotine, Five Brothers is a must have. Definitely not an every day smoke, but great on a stressful day or for a special occasion.
