HH Rustica, A Real Head Swimmer

[burleyboy]

Is it really that strong? Strongest I have tasted is Gawith Hoggarth & Co Dark Flake Unscented- which I can tolerate for about 50-55 mins.

PS - Other tobacco which I think is less strong than Dark Flake Unscented: (In no particular order)

1. War Horse Bar
2. Five Brothers
3. Bold Kentucky
4. Old Joe Krantz
5. Samuel Gawith Black XX Twist

In my opinion Rustica is a bit stronger than Dark Flake unscented. The difference is not big, though.

This thread is making me want to open my tin. My friends thought I was a gross redneck because I smoked 4 packs of Marlboro reds a day to get my nicotine.
The main reason I love burley and Kentucky is the nicotine!

How are we gross?

I really want to smoke Rustica, but I'm quit. I think I'm going to do it and pretend I didn't. Then I could also pretend that having broken abstinence I would not be off to the races, resuming the addiction.

I'm starting to like this Rustica.Smoked a full bowl in a group 2 sized Dr Grabow.The nicotine made it's self known,but my head didn't swim as I had a full stomach.

You can break abstinence but if you smoke this you could have 2 hands free

 

[troyniss]

Bought 2 tins when it was released. I'll eventually get around to it but haven't made the commitment to open it yet. I've got too many other blends in line.

 

[cshubhra]

Based on what was discussed earlier, I thought ? I should have some. It is still available in Ken Byron Ventures so I ordered 2 tins!

Thanks @burleyboy

Two flakes don't bother me, but when I went up to four flakes in this thing, it put me down.

You like some Rustica with your weed? Oops, sorry? that’s moss.

 

[burleyboy]

You’re welcome, @cshubhra a ! I‘m pretty sure, you‘ll like it. By the way, I would not worry too much about this becoming unavailable. Tins in Europe have nothing written about limitation on them and it is still widely in stock here.

 

[Chasing Embers]

with your weed?

No amount of money could make me smoke that garbage.

Being a post 2007 blend, the deaming will either kill it, or make it unavailable in th US.

I can do one flake at a time, and only get mild effects depending on time of day and what I've consumed. I haven't thought about doing two flakes though.

Rustica is reserved for the small bowled pipes.

Ah that’s a point I always forget about. At least there will remain the option of importing it.

If online sales aren't banned altogether.

That’s what I’m honestly afraid of as a new pipe smoker.

I think as a long time DFU smoker, you’ll be underwhelmed. And tongue bitten. Same old same old Mac B “ooh this one has nicotine, really!” stuff.

 

[saltedplug]

Maybe. But my system hasn't experienced nicotine for over two years, except in tomato, potato, eggplant and green pepper, and none of them has gotten me lit. If I do decide to have a bowl I have 100g of DF and 2 tins of 2015 Escudo that I didn't sell.

And let me know if you want to experience the hype - I’ll send you a tin.

 

[saltedplug]

That would be an awesome gift! But wait until I holler at you.
