Five Brothers

[nsfisher]

I would like to know if anyone has tried the Five Brothers tobacco. It appears to have the same shag cut as the Drum that I like and high nic hit but I have never tried it.

I have a sample of it that I got out of the box pass, but I've been too chicken to try it yet....

I placed an order the other night but didn't include it. I wish I would have now. I am thinking it may be my Drum replacement.

I'm not sure if 5 Brothers will be a good replacement, it has a very distinct flavor. I like it but the best description I could give you is a barnyard taste. Like they laid down fresh burley in a horse barn with the straw, left it a few weeks to age then shoveled it up and bagged it :D

Both premium shag cuts that work fine in a pipe or a paper.

I received a pouch of this today, and it's not bad, but not quite as smooth as Drum if you're looking to RYO with it.

I don't smoke cigs ever. I use it in pipe only. Mostly as a layer base. Or with a drop or 2 of menthol or vanilla ext.

Five Brothers was my grandpa's favorite tobacco -- it's all he ever smoked as far back as I can remember. I used it over a year ago to help me kick the cigarette habit.. it worked. If it's the nic hit you're looking for, I say go for it, I don't think you'll be disappointed. I don't recall it tasting great, but it wasn't bad either. I remeber that it lights very easy and burns fairly quick, and the room-note is pretty strong. Hope this helps a bit.

I have a pouch of 5 Bros, tried it 3 times, enjoyed it zero times, destined to forever collect dust.
