For those of you like me that just don't quite appreciate Sutliff's 507c Virginia slices. I find it just too weak and bland for my tastes, so I decided to add a little Five Brothers to spice it up, and it hit the spot! Both the flavor and the strength bumped up at least a couple of notches. So why bother if you don't like it, just don't buy it? I bought about four ounces of 507C several months ago and have let it age but it still just didn't do anything for me and I didn't want to waste it. Having never tried Five Brothers but having read of others who mixed it with other blends to amp up the octane, I thought why not try it. Glad I did. About a 2/1 or 3/1 ratio of 507C to 5 Bros. YMMV

Five Brothers is a great mixer as well as being a nice nic jolt on its own. Many mixes work surprisingly well. I had a tin of GLP Westminster that lost the flavor its Latakia, but I used it successfully as a mixer with various blends and single leaf and used it up, with satisfaction. Sometimes I have such a good time mixing this and that that I'm afraid I'm postponing opening the many and various tins and jars I have in waiting. Mixing expands the variety of flavors you have on hand.

I just got a 5 pouch of 5 brothers and you guys got me worried it will bust my gut with vitamin “N”. :?

I’m glad to hear you say this, we have similar taste so I’ll just skip buying the 507C all together. I was going to give it a whirl but you talked me out of it. Thanks, David!

Nice call - I have not tried either of these yet, but did just order some Sutliff for aging. Will most definitely give this a go. Thanks!
