Stout tobacco, and plain. The brown pigtails, bogies, and twists are not cooked, so they're punchier than the black ones. This is straight dark-fired Virginia tobacco with no bells and whistles, and it tastes like it. It's more cigar-like than anything I've ever had in a pipe.
Preparation is simple, but lighting takes a long time. I slice coins and loosely break them up. Gravity fill seems to work better for me than packing - this stuff will expand a lot. Patience is necessary when lighting. Just take your time, it'll get going.
None of the twists are going to blow you away with complexity, just honest tobacco. In the brown line, I prefer the Bogie for selfish reasons - it's the right size to chew if I feel like it, where Twist is a little too big for that. They both smoke the same.
I'd recommend Brown Irish Twist to a smoker who has no interest in the occasional chew but wants a strong, unique dark-fired Virginia.
