So through a trade that happened some time ago, I acquired a good amount of 1792 flake, stuck it in a jar when I got it in the mail then kind of forgot about it. I found it while going through some stuff the other day and decided to try a bowl of it. Put it in a dedicated Lakeland pipe and started puffing. Now I have been told by a lot of people that this stuff is high octane, no nonsense tobacco with a nicotine level that borders on being perverted. I started to slowly puff and thought to myself, "This stuff tastes good. Really good." Nice and bold with that earthy kind of fermented punch, had that kind of "meaty" snap that a blend with some good burley has. About midway through the bowl, I waited for a nicotine hit that was something akin to Zeus using my brain as a dartboard for his darts of pure thunder. I expected to be whisked away in a fog of pure smoky brown liquid oozing tar goodness that is Vitamin N.
You know what? It never happened. No nic high, no spinning head, no transcendent experience.
I'm not saying this stuff isn't good, and by no means am I saying it's not potent. It has a nic hit, and it comes fairly early in the bowl, but it's one that, in my experience with some of the different burley blends I have tried translates to the higher side of average, what I would call "satisfying". I've had blends like Montford Point Marine and Old Joe Krantz that literally left me feeling a little nauseous after some bigger bowls of it, but this stuff didn't phase me all that much. So to anyone else that has smoked 1792: Is it nicotine overload for you guys, or have some of you had the same experience I had? I smoked a few more pipes of it to make sure it was the same experience and it came out the same each time. Did I maybe get a bad batch? It tasted fine, looked fine, smelled fine, everything indicated that it was the same stuff that I read horror stories about. I'm going to order more of it to be sure, cause I find it pretty damn tasty, but I'm just curious.
