Alternative Choice to 1792 Flake

[BROBS]

Thanks for enabling, it's in my next order from the US once it's back in stock - seems to go fast!

I wondered the same because I absolutely love 1792 Flake, wouldn't be that good (for me) if it wasn't strong in nic. I came up with the below so in my mind at least it's either Gawith or War Horse bar. Not sure about Anisette in War Horse though, I'm not a fan of anything with anise or licorice, in any form, even though it's a very popular flavouring in my country.

War horse to me almost has a cherry like flavor... but more urinal cake cherry than real cherry.

Urinal cake cherry sounds delicious

(And can't really be any odder than tobacco flavored like Old Spice after shave, i.e. Condor)

I hate aniseed and liquorice but I can't taste any of either in War Horse Bar. Maybe I've got a defective palate but it tastes more savoury to me. I don't get any floral essences or even valerian root. It does have a decent amount of nicotine in it - maybe a little more than HH Bold Kentucky. That's how it feels to me at least.

I have smoked War Horse Bar a lot slower since I made this post and there is quite a strong flavour which could be anisette/liquorice but it doesn't repel me like those flavours do in sweets.

I don’t want to get all crazy, but you can throw your own tonka beans into your pouch, tin, jar, whatever and get a really good flavor.
An old UK pal talked me into it when we were both smoking not much but JFG SLF & BF.
It really is worth a try if you’re looking for that flavor.

Last I heard 1792 was SG's top seller. There's nothing else like it.

War Horse Bar - we created something that people either love, loath or just hate. The original advertising slogan was 'Its shit. Try it!'. I have a couple of tins that I use to keep the moths of my suites, I jest not. I smoked some fresh WHB a few weeks ago and it seems to be a lot tamer than I remember it but that may be down to brain damage. The Valerian Root has most certainly been reduced probably to comply with FDA regulations but I can certainly taste the Cherry Urinal Cake flavor which is the Heliotrope and thats quite nice. If only they had made this as a 1 oz whole leaf plug as we wanted I think we would have sold even more of the stuff than we did. Since our friends at C.I purchased the Standard blends I guess they have made a few adjustments and W.H has become a bit more refined!

I really like Samuel Gawiths 1792 flake. But nicotine hit is too high for me. Has anyone got a suggested alternative with a lesser nic hit?

If that is the only issue, perseverance is the key. Your body builds tolerance to nicotine. Smoke more 1792.

it also helps to rub the juice in your eyes after pulling out a pipecleaner.

That would work. Cheaper than wearing a nicotine patch while smoking the 1792.

Lately I've tried a very small peterson pipe. Taking nearly two hours to finish and I no longer trip at all. A result I think. Now time to try old rope!
