My first shot at Brown Pigtail a few years ago was not so pleasant as I fully broke up and rubbed the tobacco and puffed like a freight train. I don't remember the experience much as I was woozy for awhile after I regained consciousness.
My piggy is now six years old and this time I sliced it and diced it with little further rubbing and stuffed the contents into a group-3 sized, thick bowled Ruthenberg. The throttle was eased way back on the puffing cadence and the experience was nearly otherworldly. Huge depth of deeply stoved Virginia flavor with that little extra I always get from G&H blends. Easy to keep lit, this little piggy made me go wee wee wee all the way to the next bowlful (which I didn't need for about six hours thanks to the strength of this blend).
You want deep stoved Virginia flavor and a nicotine hit beyond your wildest dreams? Well then, here you go pardner.

This is a very nice tobacco, it has a pleasant smell before burning and it has a wonderful construction. I use a cigar cutter to cut off a couple of mm coins. I use two methods depending on the pipe. I will either put the coins in without rubbing them out, or I will rub them out. They take a little bit of time to dry about 10-15 mins is good as a minimum. On lighting there are very smoky dark fruit flavours that come through followed by nice deep earthiness. There is a nice after taste almost apricot in nature.
The burn is nice and this tobacco does not bite. This was my first twist/rope a couple of years ago and I am now buying rope tobaccos as a staple tobacco both black, brown and flavoured.
I am however a little confused as to whether is a straight Virginia or if it is a Virginia burley blend. The flavours indicate Virginia but the burn rate and temperature indicate a blend.
All in all a good place to start with ropes and twists or to go to if you have got other twists/ropes and you are struggling with them. I keep a lot of this around

I find this as very pleasurable smoke. It may be something to do with my many years of cigarette smoking though. In the last few months I have taken up the pipe as a smoking complement to my cherished malt whisky. After a numerous 10g bags of various tobaccos I had decided that my preferred smoke was SG's 1792 Flake. I was wrong on so many levels! This is, in my opinion, the best smoke for a transitional smoker. From start to the bottom of the bowl it is a strong, nicotine fuelled, yet very smooth and not a wet smoke. I thought I was looking for some sort of Lakeland or Navy Flake as my staple. Jesus was I wrong! This is the shizzle! Smooth, strong and dry (although my taster was pre cut and semi-rubbed). It would be a massive injustice for any pipe smoker to deny at least a taste of this. I think that every smoker could find an application for this wicked jem!
