circling around this one and thinking about picking some up. Lately nothing ive been smoking had had the strength ive been after and ive heard people say that War Horse brings the vitamin N with a deep flavor. Can any confirm or deny or educated me on what this blend may be similar to? thanks in advance!

It’s hard to categorize because it’s pretty unique. I can confirm it’s strong. Give it a try. I’d recommend a small pipe on a full stomach for best results. I liked it but don’t smoke it often. Had the privilege of trying both the newest version and some vintage stuff from a generous forum member. The vintage stuff was frighteningly strong. No joke, it was potent stuff.
The aroma is fairly unique. I have not smoked anything which is similar.
The nicotine is strong. It is not as strong as GH Dark Flake Unscented but very close. It is second strongest in Nicotine I have smoked after Dark Flake Unscented.
In terms of underlying tobaccos (Not the aroma), I find some similarities with Dark Flake Unscented

It's on sale right now at Pipes and Cigars. I second the rope offerings for strength. Eat something first, or it will hit like a drop kick to the ol' nut sac.
On the cheaper end, Five Brothers is a decent, straightforward, and pleasant OTC with loads of vitamin N. It makes a good blending leaf to add some strength to other blends as well. Simple but good and strong.

I didn't find it to be amazingly strong compared to some of the G&H offerings.. it's not light by any means.
The flavor is actually pretty amazing.

Both War Horse bars are pretty strong and probably not an all-day smoke for most. The Green has a stronger top note / flavoring. As has been said, they’re unique and beyond useful description. Something you just have to try for yourself.
Gawith Dark Plug is very strong and rich, but I haven’t seen it for sale recently. Most of their ropes have a similar meaty richness with ample nicotine.

I tried a tin and decided it wasn't for me. I prefer the GHC Dark Flakes/Plugs/Ropes, myself, which are a tad stronger, though a bit harder to come by at times. War Horse is pretty stout. For me, it came down to the topping, which I just didn't care for. It's kind of fruity and medicinal. At least one ingredient in the topping is also in Bengal Slices, which I love, so go figure.
If you're looking for easily obtainable high nicotine blends, I'd also suggest MacBaren HH Bold Kentucky, as well as Pease's JackKnife and Triple Play. I am a degenerate nicotine addict and require a strong blend when I wake up and all three of those do the trick for me.

I’m with you, nic ain’t that bad but the the flavor of the tobaccos with the topping is amazing!
It's a little odd, but it has some nicotine, and it hits the spot sometimes. It definitely doesn't get me as ripped as ropes, 1792, DF, and that kind of stuff, but it's got more mojo than most. I might be imagining it, but I think the WH Bar tastes a little different than the WH Ready Cut, which I kind of prefer. When I smoked the WH from the 1970s that ashdigger gave us, I couldn't believe how strong the floral toppings were. It was incredibly perfume-y in a delicious way and very strong. The new stuff is a bit more sweet and cough medicine-y, but with some deep chocolate on the low end. I dig it.
Well, I finally got to try this one. I had tried the Green and didn't feel a thing, but the Red does seem to have more Vitamin N. I had to put down the Nording Compass ~ 2/3 of the bowl in. Nothing unpleasant, but it's very rare that I get nicotine effects from a pipe.
Yeah, smoke the War Horse Bar at least once a day. I’m kinda a poor judge of nic level, up until 5 yrs ago did cigs but mostly dipped Copenhagen for 40 yrs.
