I’m glad to see Cigar Chief stocking 5 Brothers. For those who’ve never had it, its a straight shag cut burley with minimal if any added flavoring, it’s also very high in Vitamin N. Great in a smaller pipe with a cup of black coffee if you need something to really kick start your morning. It is also a great mixer for lighter weight aromatics like the Captain Black or Smoker’s Pride lines if you want to add some strength to them. It will readily absorb any flavoured pipe tobacco you mix it in with out altering the taste, but will up the strength and body noticeably. It’s a classic in its own right as long as you know what to expect, double chocolate truffles or cherry cordial this is not.
