Aboard the Frigate today for about 50 minutes.
Nothing requiring shootin', so I settled into me pipe.
About 2/3 in, I encountered a nic hit like a monsoon. I was swayin' from stem to stearn and me cap almost blew overboard.
Anyone else ever get a randomly heavy nic hit, unexpectedly?
Jay :nana:

I always try to make sure I eat something before having a pipe. You never know when that Lady Nicotine might be having a bad day haha.

The effect of nicotine is function of the body's resilience. Sometimes we don't notice our fatigue/and or smoking cadence, and we get whacked. Happens to everyone who likes full-body.

Food and water (to wash down the rum) help. I'd crossed the whole Mighty Pacific without seasickness then got the dry heaves on a little jaunt up the coast for missing breakfast. So be warned me matey.

I believe the Frigate needs a theme song.

Odd I never have a nic hit when smoking a pipe but cigars I certainly do.

@SaintPeter I was going to suggest Drunken Sailor, one of my faves. I used to sing Drunken Doggie to my Corgi Mixes, Frisco and Kitty. Frisco below. Your song has just become my new favorite.

@jaytex969 I have been living in the land of Arrrrrrr for decades. I bought, but have not yet tried, Black Frigate on your posts. Nautical films, books, and shanties are my fave... well one of them.

Does Frisco have some W. Highland Terrier in her or him?

I'll have to find a better pic of him and his sister KittyKat. Same mom, same litter, different dads. As to your question, I have no clue.
