I noticed I can get that over here. Is that worth trying?

I wonder if the nic hit is stronger than Five Brothers?

GH has shown up in a couple of places since yesturday. Just waiting on the SG boat to arrive now.....
I love brown bogie and dont smoke enough of it. The nic is pretty potent but the flavor is straight tobacco. I cant compare to 5 brothers because I havent smoked it yet.

Geez, I hope the stock doesn't disappear by Friday... I truly, sincerely, desperately, need some more Dark Bird's Eye, and Chocolate Flake. I'm down to about an ounce of each. Plus, I've never had brown bogie, so that's a must too.

For shame! |

I have to hold out until Friday as well, but I already picked up 3 tins of Rum Flake from Iwan Ries.
I'll tap into the 5 bros at some point this week.

I've only had a sample. Nic kick is pretty strong, turned me to other directions.

I did bad and made an order anyway. Not a huge order, but an order nonetheless.

GH Brown Bogie is what I would describe as a very satisfying all natural dark STOUT. Love it on colder days in a quiet country setting like a camp out. Bob's Chocolate Flake is another GH winner, IMO

roadsdiverged, if you have some Dark Bird's Eye, mix it with the 5 Brothers at some point. Sensational. I make a mix of: 40% Five Brothers 20% Dark Bird's Eye 20% D&R Three Sails 20% Stokkebye 311 Perique It's burly. Not burley (well, some of it is), just burly.

I just put in an order for: Gawith Hoggarth & Co.- Brown Flake Scented, 4oz; - Dark Bird's Eye, 4oz; - Ennerdale Flake, 4oz; - Rum Twist Unsliced, 4oz; I'll have to try Brown Bogie next time.  So it's a burly burley you say? I say! A burley's burley. |

Plus, I've never had brown bogie, so that's a must too. I certainly wouldn't place bet on any of it being there for very long. For example Dark Plug was already gone. Look for it to hit other places if ya miss out. |

Thanks for posting Charlie, I have some but now another 8.oz on the way......that will hold me👍👍. I’m lucky they still had stock today. It’s a wee bit stronger than 5 Brothers.....JMHO.......YMMV.

Yeah the brown Bogie is gone.... I have a couple pounds, so I guess I am not suffering. I signed up for the next alert, and will post when the alert comes in. |

I'm a bit late to the party 
What about these black and brown Irish ropes? I never see people talking much about them on the forum.

I bought an ounce of G&H Black X Irish Twist, probably my first month back into piping last year. I had asked around on another forum about what the most unique tobaccos were, and that one came up. I was not ready for "The Twist" at that time, so I sliced and Jarred it. It's been sitting around for about a year. At that point, it wasn't quite tambolaka crazy, but it was strong and unappealing to me at the time. Notes of tar, and macadam, if I remember correctly. No lemon peel and diesel, like the tambolaka. I think I'll break it out later today! I think I'm ready for it now. I just got some Happy Brown Bogie in yesterday, and gave it a try. It was delightful. Just pure, rich, dark tobacco. This leads me to believe that my tasters have probably adjusted, and the G&H Black X Irish Twist will be a different animal these days. That said, I also have some SG Black XX Twist, which I liked better at the time of smoking. Not quite as heavy as the G&H. BUT, I smoked that only a few months ago, so it's not a fair comparison. Maybe I'll do a side by side later. That is my experience with ropes. It's not much, but it's some. I'll definitely buy more of the Happy Brown Bogie if I can. |

I love the Brown's but the Black ropes are taken too far for me and lose the flavors I want. If you like your red meat really well done (burnt), you might like the Black ropes more … mostly a char flavor.
Brown Bogie, Brown Twist X (rope or sliced) and Rum Twist are all in my rotation.
Dark Birdseye, while not a rope, also fits right in with the others and makes a great mixer with 5 Brothers or Semois.

Thanks, guys. I think I may get some in my next order. If anything, it will look cool jarred on the shelf.
