Five Brothers....

[topd]

This isn't exactly going to be a review, but passing on some good info for the more experienced smokers

that may be interested. I smoke 8 to 12 bowls a day or more, in other words, all day. The smokers that enjoy

one or two may not be interested at all, as Five Brothers isn't all that "attention grabbing". It's just a plane

air cured Burley cut in a shag style. I got five 1.25oz pouches (haven't bought pouches in years) from 4noggings

for $3.49 American a pouch. It's kinda boring but likable to me for a smoke while I'm busy and not paying all

that much attention. Pack a brier or cob and just puff away while your hands are busy.... A nice strong

smoke for the busy times.... (Made in Denmark).

I have a pouch of that...

I came across it this afternoon.

I might just have to give it a go.

Thanks TopD

:clap:

anyone wanting to let some five brothers go please let me know! I really am wanting to try this so called strong tobacco that everyone talks about..... :worship:

 

[crpntr1]

I tried it when I had "the box"...+1 for everything topd says..

Trying mixing it with PA if you want to mellow it. I can't help myself with inhaling it though. Just a warning to those with that sort of inclination.

I too enjoy it, great all day smoke for those of us that like a strong Tobacco with a good N kick ::

 

[topd]

Ha! That's funny reichenbach.... my oldest son is a cigarette smoker. He rolled some in zig-zag paper

this morning... Said it was great.

It looks like cig shag in the pouch. but I feel closer to the Great Detective when I smoke it. Also, to cross threads here, someone on the Pipe Smokers of Hollywood thread asked how Holmes was able to to smoke 3 bowls in 50 min. If his black shag was like 5 Brothers, it wold have easy and he would have been smoking very slow.

 

[topd]

Well, it may help that Holmes was a fictional character... He can smoke as fast as the writer

would allow. HaHaa!
But if he had Five Brother to help, maybe it went quicker.

Might give some insight on how Sir Arthur smoked his own pipes, I'll wager. I would have to pass on the strong nicotine myself.

 

[spartan]

I tried to smoke it alone and can't take the bite it gives me.
I will layer it into some blends to give it a kick midway, bottom, top of the bowl lol. It's strange how it affects the various blends. My fav so far is with Larry's blend.

 

[buffaloleafsfan]

Yeah, this stuff is a wild ride. Rather monochromatic, but as others stated, it's great for providing oomph to a weaker blend. The only issue I have had there is with its razor thin shag cut, it is difficult to mix appropriately with anything else. It's like mixing a tumbleweed into mud.
