It’s funny how differently people react to stimulants. I have a buddy that puts about a third to a half of a can of snuff in his lip every time he dips. His lip sticks way out like my cheek does with chewing tobacco ?. I have a pretty good nic tolerance, but that much dip would make me sick. He feels nothing. Give him one cup of coffee though and he’s acting stupid and zooming around like a sugar-infused hyperactive eight year old with ADD.
When I was doing community service Work Crew in high school (yes I got in trouble) we found an unopened tin of Skoal bandits at the softball park we were cleaning up. Everybody was dipping even the girls. Next thing everyone is puking in the bushes and can’t work anymore. Had to call it a day and the supervisor never could figure out why everybody got sick. ?

A big bowl of D&R Picayune got me a week or two ago. Rushx9 warned me about it. I was ok, feeling a little buzzed. I went to brush my teeth and bam, threw up right in the sink. Haha

Congratulations on your nic hit. What the hell is going on here?, yours smoking Dunhills, getting nic hits, you gotta go see a doctor.

I was looking to feel anything from pipe smoke. I've always enjoyed the taste of it, but never felt any nicotine effects like I do from cigarettes or chewing. This was a bit overkill. ? Fully rubbed out, two flakes is as far as I'm going from now on.?

4 flakes in a large bowl would be like filling a large glass with moonshine and killing it. I'd say you were fortunate to not have been puking all over the floor. You obviously made a conscious decision with the pipe choice and 4 flakes so I was confused about what outcome you were hoping for. Of course, I've never seen a direct correlation between the ability to tolerate nicotine and manhood either. :)

Just confirmation that HH Rustica is the Dave's Insanity Sauce of the pipe tobacco world. I anticipate Rustica challenge videos to be forthcoming.

I was trying to stay out of this, now Ive gotta know what this stuff is all about. Ive read reviews that say its not so strong, now I've read this.. The Flavor sounds right up my alley. damn!, now I gotta know!

I've smoked cigarettes, cigars and pipe for 47 years. Gave up 2 pack per day cigarette habit for good in 2007. My nicotine tolerance is relatively high I think. If I smoked this stuff in a pipe large enough to hold 4 flakes, I'm guessing I would be on the floor hiccuping, head spinning and possibly with a gun in my hand trying to steady it adequately to shoot myself and end the suffering.

It wasn't unpleasant, like a really strong alcohol buzz. Not looking for a repeat performance and the pipe will only hold four flakes when cube cut. Rubbed out from now on as it can only hold two flakes that way. Was just wondering how in the world people got a nic hit from a pipe.
