gh&co.'s brown irish twist vs sam gawith's brown rope #4

[juanmedusa]

I smoke many gh&co flakes and their brown Irish and black cherry twists. I currently remembered that the little jar of sliced up brown twist I am currently smoking is in fact Sam gawith's brown rope #4. I must have picked it up randomly at some point as I usually order gh&co. products, their availability being one of their assets. It got me to thinking though, I am confident the two products are similar to some degree but I've never compared them directly. I will likely smoke a bunch of the black cherry twist between this batch of Sam gawith rope before I smoke the gh&co. Irish twist again and I only smoke ropes interspersed between the tobacco's I smoke more regularly anyways. So the question is raised, which product do you prefer between the two and why? I would say the gh&co. product for myself at this point if only because I smoke gh&co. flakes primarily and would order it together in an online purchase.

I see fewer aliens when I smoke the Brown #4.

Smoking Brown #4 will definitely kick yer arse in no uncertain terms!

 :shock: 

No experience with the G&H ropes. But there again I avoid Lakelands and fruit flavored blends



Cheers,

I have a bunch of GH & co brown pigtail, it's basically thin brown rope with a light virginia leaf wrapper rather than the oily dark wrapper. Pretty stout stuff. Small bowls gently sipped and you're OK.

Both are remarkably good IMO (the brown irish & the no.4 that is), though lately I've been reaching for the 10mm pigtails more often than the 20mm twists.

I can smoke the GH ropes. Low and slow in my clay pipe & I am good. The two SG's I have had Brown Rope #4 and Black XX gave me a good case of the niccups a 1/4 of the way down the bowl and left me feeling unwell. IMHO, those two are the deadly twins of rope tobacco.

I don't think I've ever tried the SG ropes, but GH Brown Irish X is one of my regular smokes. Sooooo good.

Well of course.  It's well know than aliens can't stand the smell of brown Irish X, so they run for stars when you light up.
