Five Brothers Smoking Tobacco

[delisle]

I was looking around for some choices of stronger pipe tobacco and found Five Brothers Smoking tobacco. I am intrigued at this because it is reputedly very strong and very hard to find.

Has anyone ever tried it?

i don't find it that strong, it's a good straight-forward, shag cut burley, very old-school type tobacco. Not a whole bunch of flavor, decent dose of vitamin N

$3.25 a pouch here...

Yea, I found that link after some digging earlier. You mentioned decent dose of Vitamin N, what would be a stronger shot than Five Brothers?

The brown varieties of the ropes are stronger than the black. Stoving the tobacco in the black ropes actually somewhat milds the tobacco.

If you wanted to make a blend stronger you could always add a couple pinches of straight parique.
