I was not aware of a general dislike... I find it strong, but I like the barbecue charred meat vibe.

There are rope smokers who are more inclined towards the brown ropes than the black Irish, because they are specifically looking for more nicotine.

Different strokes for different folks. I personally like stronger tobacco and I have it at night as well. Just like I have to have Nicaraguan cigars. I like the boldness of them.
I used to like toscano cigars , italian pretty strong , u should try them very good for the price here in uk cigars are very expensive

I also like the twists and ropes in small pipes for the night. These days I smoke Black XX Kendal twist in a small cob often as last smoke of the day. It’s an easy going tobacco with a hearty bold taste.View attachment 197977 It reminds me of smoking the Gitanes or Gauloise cigarettes, when I was younger.
Same as me , i have a mm legend that i use just for irish twist just thought id mix it up and use my peterson tonight :)

I got told it was a lot stronger dont know if thats the case but will find out soon lol
I don’t find it to be much stronger and they’re both quite similar to my palate but I’d be interested to hear your take after trying both. They’re just different enough for me to want one or the other on a particular day but not enough that I’d lose any sleep if I had to substitute in a pinch. YMMV
