I should preface this post by saying that I have been smoking a pipe continuously for a little more than a year now, and in that time, I have never met a pipe tobacco that made me feel as though it had a large dose of nicotine. There were some that I noticed its presence was more known than a few others, but never anything that gave me a certified "buzz", nothing that knocked me on my ass and made the room spin and made me feel a little funny after all was said and done. Last night, that very thing finally happened.
At the recommendation of a forum member, I ordered some Cornell and Diehl Montford Point Marine with my last order. I had asked you guys for some good blends with Dark Fired Kentucky, and this one seemed to fit the bill nicely. I loaded my Sav 320 EX with some and lit it up. It was a little hard to light at first, but once I got it going I was really getting into it. Big, bold flavors, fairly spicy, had that hint of smokiness from the Latakia, and the Kentucky was really rich, earthy, deep, spicy, and just a little hint of toasted nuts. Really digging it, I smoked all the way down to the bottom of the first bowl, got up to load another one, and I could feel a little nic kick. I was calm, feeling no pain, and just generally felt satisfied.
Then I made the mistake of loading a second bowl. Let's just say that by the end of bowl 2, I started to stand up and was immediately knocked back into my seat. The nicotine hit me with the force of a semi, and I was dizzy and couldn't concentrate. I was a mess, and I definitely won't be doing that again.
So if you guys want a lot of nicotine, go for some Montford Point Marine! :mrgreen:
