| Brand: | Lane |
Old fashioned, real honest tobacco flavor with a kick, these phrases describe Five Brothers to a T. This is straightforward dark Burley, cut in a fine ribbon that's almost a shag. Although a lot of people smoke this on its own, it also makes a nice addition to mellow tobaccos to give them more body. If you like your tobacco to be robust and bold, but don't care for added flavorings, Five Brothers is just what you're looking for.

Good, strong tobacco. Burns fast,
Jan 14, 2021
Good, strong tobacco. Burns fast, but little tongue-bite. I smoke it on its own for a short hit (or a long hit in a big bowl), or half-and-half it with Butternut Burley, which is delicious and satisfying.
Damn, but I love burley.
Plus, of course, it has an exclamation-point after its name.

Five Brothers is a stout
Dec 15, 2020
Five Brothers is a stout Burley blend that is pleasant and will give a definite boost to your taste buds; it also is a good mixture to add to others to give a "kick" of pure Burley. I add it to PA from time to time and is always a great smoke.

Old school taste and feel

This burley blend is amazing. Definitely try it out if you prefer a more tobacco (or baccy if you will) taste. Very rich and strong and I love the shag-like cut. Packs great.

Excellent RYO tobacco.
Nov 30, 2020
I have been using this as a RYO filler for years, with unbleached RAW tubes, and the result is better than most cigarillos out there. Every single smoker I've met likes them - I sometimes blend it with Peter Stokkebye non-aromatics, and it tastes great.

I enjoyed this blend , as I was looking for something with a decent amount of Nicotine. Five Brothers is smooth and bite free. Smokes well, with little dottle. The only drawback I found was it tends to burn quickly.

Nice smoke
Oct 22, 2020
I really liked this ! it has a good bit of spice and hits hard with vitamin N has a good tobacco flavor without any additional flavors packs fairly well only requiring a few relights a bit of tongue bite if you don’t pace yourself (you want to anyway this stuff has a kick) really the only con for me with this tobacco is I’d does seem to burn pretty fast. For the price I’d definitely buy again.

Good blast.
Oct 05, 2020
Like other reviewers, I will say, this tobacco has a big vitamin N content. Given. But, not as bad as some have said. Then again I was smoking it in a 20mm filter MYO configuration. It injects well as it comes a bit dry in the pouch. Taste-wise I don't agree about it being flat. To me it has a nice fruity finish. But, not artificial at all. A good smoke. I blended it with about an equal portiin of D&R Penhooker an THAT is the bomb. Just wish I could get it in a larger, more economical quantity!

Uniquely pleasing tobacco
May 20, 2020
Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco is distinctly enjoyable and a great value, although it burns mighty fast. Why not change the cut to "ribbon" instead of "shag"? Regardless, it's a regular purchase from now on. Very recommendable. No regrets.

Practical American-Style Tobacco—Versatile
Jan 20, 2020
I love Five Brothers! IMHO, there is not a more serviceable pipe tobacco available. It is strong, but I have a decent tolerance for the vitamin N, so I like it this way. Five Brothers is what makes ordinary aromatics satisfying for me. I like to blend a good aromatic with a bit of this to give it some strength and to moderate the sweetness a little. I also like to pack a bowl of this stuff for a quick pipe when I don't have much time, or when I'm going to be letting it go out and relight over a long period of talking or working on something. It's also easy to grab a pouch and go when traveling. Nothing complex about it, just honest, practical, American-style tobacco. Straight burley. Nutty. Dry (like I like it). You'll either love or hate it, I imagine. I love it.

This is a great tobacco if you like Burley and don't mind a big nicotine hit. I don't get tongue bite and it's flavor is more complex than I thought it'd be. If you like nicotine or need a tobacco to help keep you awake then buy this.

It definitely has a kick
Oct 06, 2019
A bit on the strong side if smoked by itself, but not overly so. Mixes quite well with some milder tobaccos I have sitting around.
However, when you are looking for a quick smoke with some nicotine (and sometimes I do) I'll load up one of my smaller pipes with this alone and have at it.

Excellent burley
Aug 15, 2019
It’s a strong, full bodied burley that burns great, if a little fast, and doesn’t bite. The flavor is spot on if you enjoy a surprisingly mellow but pure tobacco flavor with pleasant hints of nuttiness, it definitely doesn’t taste like cigarettes like some reviewers have said. Easily top 3.

High Five!
Jul 05, 2018
22 years smoking cigs, started smoking pipes, got rid of the twigs. 2 months in haven't craved those sticks, I scratch the itch with this burley and a Bic. MM pipe all packed and ready, I hit it hard and burn it hot and then it's slow and steady. 10 minutes in my head is swimming, body is loose, relaxed,..... man I wish I wasn't driving. I carry on with deep breaths and coffee,...... Aww forget it. This review has gone too far. Lol! Yall getcha some of this good ol baccy. It's different than my regular smokes but it's just right for that nic hit and flavor of real tobacco when I don't want to get out the flakes or my regular rotation of the others I like. Forget the nic, it's just plain ol fun smoking this burley on the porch with a glass of sweet tea and enjoying life a little slower, even if it's only a 10 minute smoke. High five for Five Brothers.

My father used to talk about how strong Five Brothers was. He has been gone for 25 years now and I just decided to give it a try. I expected a pipe so hot you couldn't hold it and really bad tongue bite. What a surprise it was. It does not burn hot or bite my tongue. I really enjoy it.

Great Budget Smoke
Jan 08, 2018
The taste, cut and strength of Five Brothers is similar to American Spirit cigarette tobacco - and for quite a bit less. It unfortunately suffers from a similar dryness. The first bowl I packed was an excellent morning smoke. I have since been blending this with other OTC brands to give them more punch, so the pouch has been open for over a week. It now has the same dryness and consistency of old cigarette tobacco, and though the taste is still good the smoke is a bit rough on its own. I will throw an orange peel into the next pouch I buy immediately after I open it, but for the price and quality Five Brothers is a great choice.

Give it a try...You won't be sorry
Sep 17, 2017
Wow... I agree with most of the other reviews already posted. This is a no frills, strong tobacco good for mixing or smoking alone. I have only been smoking a pipe for about two months and found that I like the sweet aromatic blends. However, I was not finding the nicotine satisfaction I was looking for...enter Five Brothers...My pipe mentor gave me a pouch to try. I have used this blended with some of my OTC brands and smoked it alone...I believe I have found the key to what I have been missing. I would definitely recommend giving this one a try if you are just needing to kick your favorite blend up a notch.

No frills burley
Sep 06, 2017
The tobacco is great for what it is, a strong, no frills, straight-up burley tobacco. I first bought some about two years ago when I wanted something that has a lot of vitamin-N, and will be a nice easy smoke, and that's exactly what Five Brothers is. Nothing fancy, just a strong burley.
A shag cut, meaning very finely cut, it packs nice and burns down to a white ash pretty quickly. If I am in a hurry or in the middle of something and just want to get my tobacco fix this is a perfect tobacco for it. Simple works for this tobacco.

A milder version of the original Five Brothers
Jul 09, 2017
Five Brothers is much milder since it was acquired by a Swedish tobacco company. When it was American owned and packaged in a paper, it was so strong that I could only smoke it once or twice a day. Now I can smoke it all day. That being said, I still like the pure unadulterated tobacco taste and smell. I haven't found a tobacco that is close to it in strength,i.e., nicotine. I would be happier if it was closer to the original in flavor and bite.

Damn this stuff is great and nutty. I have used this stuff for quite some time and it never ever fails. I do like to keep mine a little moist so I use Boveda packs in my 8 oz jar at all times just so it has that moist hay-like feel to it.

High Five for the Five Brothers
Sep 10, 2016
Five Brothers delivers! I had thought about buying some for a few years so decided to end my curiosity, and am glad I finally did! This is not a tobacco for the faint of heart, and can be used to add a little power to your other tobaccos. I add it with my cube cut tobacco and many of my beloved Virginia flakes---which I have re-named: for example, I have Five Orliks; Five Brothers and Half & Half Other Brothers; and Five Erinmore Brothers. So, when you get a wild hair why not give this a try? I know you'll like the price.

Not sure what to think
Mar 06, 2016
Its stout, but not as stout as others have made it out to be. I have smoked unprocessed burley from the barn and this is only half as strong in terms of strength. Flavorwise, it is very strong. It does not have the typical nutty taste of American style burley blends, but would probably appeal to the English and VAper fans in terms of taste.

I wouldn't make this your first tobacco.
Feb 12, 2016
Wow - strong! As one YouTube reviewer noted, the pouch note is classically plain tobacco (like a pack of decent cigarettes), and the room note is... someone's smoking cigarettes. It's a bit harsh, tends to burn a bit hot (even with a slow, even draw), and can have a bit of tongue bite with no real way around it. It's dry as a bone right in the pouch, and takes a deceptively LARGE pinch or two to fill even a small bowl. It might make for a good mixing base with overly moist aromatics to balance both out. The nicotine hit is right in the front and unmistakable. Not my favorite by any means, but not awful, and certainly affordable.

THIS IS TOBACCO!
Feb 12, 2016
Five Brothers burley is tobacco --simple, straight-forward, slightly nutty, straight-up burley tobacco. When I am not smoking a Turkish/ Virginia such as Peter Stokkebye 84 Turkish or McClelland Grand Orientals Classic Samsun, I smoking Five Brothers burley.
Five Brothers burley has a enough nicotine to satisfy even the heaviest nicotine junkie with a mild, nutty flavor that makes it a great all day smoke. The "fine ribbon cut" is a shag cut --I don't care what they say. I love enjoying Five Brothers as a cigarette because of it's simple, singular flavor. It can get monotonous when smoked in a medium or large sized pipe but this is a tobacco that I must always have around in abundance.

I ended my last two nights with this. Although the spicy body isn't quite as present as Picayune, and the nicotine punch isn't as overwhelming as I had been led to believe on YouTube (and various tobacco forums), I found this to be a very pleasant smoke. My gosh, what a nice blend! This is a PERFECT topper for the night, even if you don't have a mug o' draft beer on your side for accompaniment.

A classic straight forward Dark Burley. No added casings or toppings, just good old fashioned burley taste.

I love the taste of this tobacco, it's nutty and american made. I love it by it self and mixing it with other tobaccos to give them some oomph.
KJ of Aiea, HI
Everyone experiences burley differently, but for me this has a strong spicy flavor, with a hint of cocoa and espresso acidity. An all natural shag-cut burley tobacco that comes bone-dry, but offers a full-bodied satisfying smoke. Word of advice, pull the tobacco you intend to smoke out of the bag, cup it in your hands, and breath into it a few times. The added moisture from your breath with help keep it from burning like a forest fire. Alex rates this: 8 out of 10

Decent nicotine strength. Not as strong as straight Dark-Fired Kentucky, but tastes better. I'll definitely keep some of this on hand.

Definitely a powerhouse. I actually like it best mixing it one for one with a pouch of the Borkum Riff bourbon. It slows down the burn a little and tones down the bourbon flavor of the Borkum Riff. The mixture of the two has made it into the rotation.

Not a bad tobacco, but I found it a little strong. I mixed it in with some Middlltons Cherry Blend and it gave it a little extra kick! Seemed to burn hot by itself and burned quickly.

This tobacco is a powerhouse of vitamin N! It lights easily and has a mellow nutty flavor. The Dunhill Nightcap of Burly tobacco.

I like to umph up my other tobaccos with this stuff. It's a treat.
