    Peterson Irish Flake - Nicotine High

    I thought after a few bowls of Peterson Irish Flake it was a mild smoke, however the last few bowls have knocked my socks off! Seams to be stronger as it has dried out in the tin. Massive nicotine hit. I eat my words it's a strong tobacco. Put it on your next buy if you have not tried it...
