I think 5 Brothers is one of those RYO cigarette tobaccos they now sell as pipe tobacco since there is a big tax difference.
I found Five Brothers at Market Basket in Moss Bluff. They had two new cellophane wrapped bundles of maybe six packs. No price on the shelf so the manager opened the bundle and scanned one for a price check. Tapatalk Via Kyocera
After trying some, I read the same review. I like to have an unbiased opinion, then see what others have to say. It is the finest cut I've tried. Thread thin long fibers with "birds eyes" where the stem was sliced. Following suggestion, I put the whole pouch in a jar, laid a damp paper towel over, an applied the lid. I'm hoping it hydrates enough to slow the burn. Very dry from the pouch even though it was a fresh to the store shipment, still cellophaned into a set of six pouches.
Also @RyX It's flue cured tobacco intended for papers. Almost all American cigarettes are mostly unflavored Burley. On some level, tobacco is tobacco...but the noticable nicotine after the cure is a clue that it is lower end cig tobacco. I've run into this stuff in Denver.
Ahhhh the Bucket. Worked there 2 years in high school. Had a MM with Prince Albert. Veddy nice truck pipe.
My youngest brother called it Market Bucket, too. I enjoy visiting the store. At the deli/bakery there's Community coffee, and a mini-muffin, or two if you're not shy. Then the meat counter where you'll find smoked boudin on a cracker and/or a piece of sausage with a pretzel stick for a handle. Right next to that the seafood counter with Cajun crab spread on a Ritz cracker. Being an opportunistic eater, it makes a nice free light lunch.
I miss free samples! Don't get them much around here anymore... If you find 5 Bros. smokeable, try Tabac Manil's Pure Samois. I was gifted a brick a few years ago, and loved it. It's a Belgian burley, and very distinctive. Kind of has a funky barnyard vibe in the package, but a very nice bitter dark chocolate thing when lit. I need to pick some more up one of these days.
The original company was established in 1866, by 5 actual brothers, by 1882 they were making 4 million pounds of plug tobacco and 1 million pounds of smoking tobacco annually. Turn of the century containers say pipe tobacco on them from what I have found. personally as pipe tobacco it's ok, but know of folks on the forums say they use it as a RYO baccy. But based on history, I'd say it was pipe tobacco way before cigarette baccy IMO
Several bowls this AM, started out with Chatham Manor and OLd Joe Krantz mixed 50/50 in a Paul's Cayuga Now having a bowl of Dunhill Early Morning Pipe in a Vermont Freehand Morta
Interesting pipe, had to do some research as that brand is one I have heard or seen anyone post about. High end...nice. How does it smoke?
PS Toasted Burley in Chacom on the jobsite this morning. Worked until I was sweat drenched and getting low on iced tea in the drink jug. Took a text from a previous customer on the short ride home - she wants me to visit and consult on a couple projects. Arrived home and my neighbor was detailing a car in my driveway. That's an arrangement previously worked out. His parking area is clam shell, other parts of the world use gravel. I have concrete so he can do a better job when he applies ArmorAll on the tires. His customer wants me to consult about a project, too. A month ago it was raining every day and I could have used these indoor jobs. Now I need two of me just to cover the different place I need to be, all at the same time. I ought to raise my rates!
