HH Rustica, A Real Head Swimmer

[Civil War]

Fantastic flavor, but I can only smoke half a small bowl before my head stats swimming and I have to set my pipe down.?

 

[Sonorisis]

You, too, should sit down.

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

I haven't gotten brave enough yet.

I bought one tin. Should’ve bought 5 haha
Haven’t cracked my one tin open yet but I think I’m going to love it. Gotta buy more first though. Don’t want to love something and not have any for later.

One flake isn't bad. I've been packing a flake for work everyday this week. A friend liked the smell of it so I made a cigarette for him with it. He said it was the best cigarette he ever smoked.

When I did the math they were roughly $.60/flake. Wish I had bought ten more tins.

Slacker!!!

It's a good blend. I don't find the strength to be anything more than your typical rope or twist. I think there is a pretty healthy Va/bur content.

Don't listen to some of the oldtimers...AlaskanPiper, ChasingEmbers as well as Jim pour liquid nicotine on their cereal and oatmeal for breakfast and most likely use it as a replacement for soy sauce. This put me on my ass. And I usually tolerate nicotine, for the most part.

 

[kcghost]

It has a single flavor from the first puff to the last. I thought it was about medium in strength.

 

[mso489]

Ordinarily chasing' reports he doesn't experience nicotine at all, so if this is getting to his nicotine receptors -- granted in pretty high doses -- take that under advisement. I do fine with some of the sturdier burley blends, but I'm not looking for trouble.

 

[Country Bladesmith]

I want to try this one. Not so much to make my head swim, but just because I’d like to see what N. rustica tastes like.

 

[Civil War]

I start to notice it after 1/2 a flake.

 

[3rdguy]

I tried a few bowls and it didnt do much for me in any department. I have 9 tins I will probably be selling in the near future.

 

[newportpipe]

No way, no how am I trying this stuff.

 

[sallow]

Huh. I guess I'll have to get some.

 

[olkofri]

How does it compare to War Horse Bar?

 

[cshubhra]

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

 

[Civil War]

For me, about the same strength as GH brown Irish twist. I need little bowls for that also.
