+2 Boswell's they blend really good aromatics but I am not sure about the nic content either.My favorite Boswell is Bear Blend.
aros with a higher nicotine content, in my limited experience, would be the macbaron honey and chocolate and their vanilla cream, probably a few others i haven't tried yet. their website has cool looking diagrams to tell what the nicotine strength, among other things, is for each of their blends.
there's also sugar barrel which i guess isn't exactly an aro but it's a good smoke.

Two suggestions:
1) Try some of the scented Lakeland blends, such as Ennerdale Flake, Kendal Flake, and Bosun Cut Plug. They are blended with some very potent (and tasty) aromatic agents, often floral in nature. Some smokers despise them, but some absolutely love them. Broken Flake #7 has some vanilla notes.
2) Buy some Five Brothers or some Gawith & Hogarth Kendal Kentucky. These are neutral, powerful burleys with some HEAVY nicotine. Just mix them into your aromatics untl you get the preferred balance of strength/flavor. I would start with, say, two parts aromatic to one part burley.

Look for burley and kentuky blends. They have the highest nic content but low sugar so the will probably have a heavy casing, so they may have to dry a bit before you can smoke them.
Virginias have a low nic content and are sweeter in flavor so they will be the primary aromatics you will find. Perique is a middle grade on the nic scale and they have a spicy taste.
Latakia has almost no nic in them and are a staple in most english blends. Orientals not so much nic in them either.
Try as many as you can to find what you like.
I am an ex cig smoker and like a nice nic kick also I would say I big bowl of a nice virginia blend such as MaB Vanilla Cream or a fruity blend like 1888 Mid Day. Has enough nic for me and plenty of flavor on the aro end.
Good luck.
