[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 258005, member: 1723"] I say "meh" to many of the blends suggested here. Not that I have a high nic-tolerence (which I believe I actually don't) nor do I consider myself a macho-man. My take- Haddo's - yes it can be potent including and especially when young. I give it 5/10 on the nic scale. Smoke it after a big meal and you're good to go. Pete's Irish Flake - Somewhat high on the meter. Yet I've also found this to be lacking in complexity and somewhat thin. Others find this wonderful. 4/5 nic hit. For my money, Sammy G's Brown Rope #4 will light you up and spit you out! [b]BIG[/b] flavor and also an equally deadly nic hit. Smoke this in a small bowl and sip carefully. 10/10, and be careful to be near the bog....a sudden rush to it with an involuntary evacuation of the lower bowels may be near! :evil: Sammy G's Black XX Twist is somewhat less potent, but nowt by much. Tambolaka I couldn't get on with. Much too harsh. Yet I had the fresh version. Perhaps this improves upon ageing. The others mentioned I have little or no experience with. And I hasten to add that I don't smoke for the nic hit, and in fact don't appreciate it when it becomes a significant factor. Not why I smoke pipes. <shrug> YMMV as always..........
