Burley at its Best

Product: Five Brothers Five Brothers 1.25oz
This stuff is simple and great---Elegance in simplicity. Best way to smoke is to find your favorite chair, install a seat belt, pour some straight scotch (or whiskey), fire up--- and get it on!
You will love it.

A Fairly Strong, Straight Kentucky Burley

ortable chair to sit down in.
This is some strong, straight Burley & is good to stoke in a pipe or RYO. I rather like very strong tobaccos on occasion as well as a strong cigar since I don't inhale anything. I like to keep my lungs free of "asphalt." This doesn't have any flavor to offer other than just plain old Burley tobacco taste which is sufficient if you're just after a Vitamin N blast.
This is simply a no frills, straight up Kentucky Burley that only takes a few puffs to get you going but when you get there, you may not remember where you came from. Excellent blend for what it is with a good price tag. I liked it & sometimes use it to top off a wimpy blend. Warning: Smoke only on a full stomach if you're not used to strong stuff like Five Brothers or you might be headed to Barf City to toss your cookies. Read Less

Allows me to keep my hands free when doing something. In every way, I consider this to be the perfect blend for the "no time for nonsense, i have things to do" kind of guy. Only thing I don't agree with is nicotine content. Don't get me wrong, it most certainly satisfies the craving. Maybe its because I smoked cigarettes for so many years, but I put this right in the middle. Strong enough to satisfy, not strong enough to make my head spin. So pack a bowl and "git 'er dun!".

er to me. Burns well. No bite. Due to the shag cut, you will have to pack tighter than usual. I'm average for nicotine tolerance and honestly, this blend is too much for me.

nd instantly reminds of Chatham Manor (HH
Carter Hall Match). Little woody here and there.
Interestingly, some good citrus on second light. Little bit
grassy towards a slight virginia yellow grass. Very tasty,
watch out for nicotine kick. Great burn, easy to manage, no
moisture collection. Makes me like Burley, its not cigarettey
to me at all like some Burley's (i.e. Lane Ready Rubbed).
Not sure if I like more than or less than Chatham Manor.
They are different though have some similarities, Chatham
(9 mo aged) is a little sweeter and a little milder after
smoking back to back, with the nuttiness being similar. I
find myself reaching for this more than Chatham lately.

There's two ways to approach Five Brothers:

Or, carefully... Read More
pack the shag, give it a nice char and light, and sip it slowly, enjoy the woody, spicy, nutty, burley goodness. You'll wonder if your pipe is going out because the smoke is thin-bodied, but discover a perfectly round ember happily burning away in your pipe. You'll be immensely relaxed and satisfied, and the tobacco will easily burn down to the heel without any drama.
Seriously, Five Brothers is worth consideration. If you're blowing huge clouds, your pipe is heating up, and the retrohale is burning, you're smoking too fast. Sip it, and it is rewarding, cheap, and comforting in a blue collar kind of way. Not an all-day everyday kind of smoke for me, but when the mood strikes, it's fantastic. Read Less

An almost perfect burley blend. If you're wanting pure, unadulterated tobacco, look no further.

No charring light needed, just light up and smoke…it’ll be hot if your an insistent puffer so take it easy and enjoy some good Burley flavor. Could be a “best choice” for a pocket pipe and a quick smoke. I opted for a Peterson 87 to try it out. A well broken in example of a smaller Peterson that’s proven itself over time. Good burly flavor, rich thick smoke, easy to keep lit. Take your time and enjoy this one as it gas many plusses. I suppose it could be used to roll a cigarette as it’s physical nature seems ideal for that. Comes in a convenient coated paper pouch too. Glad I decided to try it out. I’ll admit to being a Burley lover and this one certainly fits the bill. Read Less

5 bowl of this you might swear it deserves five or six. It rivals in strength Gawith Hoggarth’s Kendal Dark, Samuel Gawith’s Brown Number Four rope/twist, and Mac Baren’s HH Rustica. For Five Brothers is already heady stuff, but it is rendered unlike those blends in hairlike shag form. Many smokers will puff this a bit too fast and as it burns fast, it delivers that nic-hit that much faster and harder. This is sound for what it is, a pure burley shag tasting of sheer natural tobacco, with a pouch note of black pepper and cupboard spices (perhaps cayenne is in there somewhere). But it’s the flavor of black pepper (and nothing like Perique pepper) and a trace of saltiness in the mouth that to me keeps this blend from its full potential. Those flavors, besides its sheer horsepower, are good reasons to smoke this after a good-sized meal but also importantly to relegate this to an occasional bowl. Regardless, Five Brothers isn’t for the faint of heart. It is also definitely a cut above other drugstore blends with their often sugary, artificial-tasting toppings. Knowing this one’s been sold since the late nineteenth century, I can’t help but imagine this having filled the pipe chambers of Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill Cody, and other men who settled the West. Great for the price and a worthy choice for the burley aficionado. 4.0 stars. Read Less

The pouch is sealed in a plastic wrapper and maintains the tobacco's moisture level. No problem smoking it right out of the bag with minimal relights. Because it is in a pouch, it will dry out quickly unless transferred to an airtight container. Shag cut which makes it easy to pack. Burns hot, fast and down to a fine ash. Flavor is nutty with some earthy tones. Room note is quite strong much like a hand-rolled cigarette. I keep 3 or 4 pouches on hand. Strong but manageable. Read Less

obacco, and it even gets served in a rolling tobacco pouch. However, don't try to put this in a roll up! I didn't do this, but inhaled once to see if it was just rolling tobacco labelled as pipe tobacco. I was wrong! It felt like my throat was on fire!
It was the same taste throughout the bowl, with the nicotine strengthening as I smoked longer, probably my body trying to give me a warning!
I have trouble keeping it lit, which is odd considering the cut and dryness of the tobacco. I only smoke it in a miniature pipe though, and had to dump the ash a couple of times. Nice that it has no problem smoking all the way to the bottom of the bowl.
This is one of my favorites, it is in a league of it's own, when you need a kick, this will be more than enough.
I highly recommend this for people trying to quit smoking cigarettes - have a bowl of this, you definitely won't want a ciggy for a while. Would give it a full 5 stars, but I really don't like the cut. That being said, if it was cut differently it might have a different taste. Don't be scared to try, for the price it's well worth it.
