High(er) Nicotine Aromatics

[wolflarsen]

Holly's Non Plus Ultra is reported to be an aromatic with a bit of N. I double dare you to try it.

Oh, and University Flake! Nice nic and plenty aromatic. To much for me, actually.

Is that the same as Wallace Flake? If so I already have a tin...

Haha I have avoided it as of yet. I’ve heard its quite weird.

Almost. Wallace is the KK version of it. Very similar, but not identical.

Copy. Any preference between the two? The Pete I take it?

No preference really, but the Pete's easier to find.

If Erinmore Flake counts as an aromatic that would be my vote of what I’ve tried so far. Bonus points for tasting absolutely declicious on top of the nic.

I’ve got a tin! I’ll pop it soon!

G&H Kentucky Nougat has a decent amount of nicotine and tastes more like an American aro than a Lakeland.. just with better quality leaf and a Stoved VA Cavendish instead of burley. I love SG Firedance Flake the most but it is a bit more Lakeland-ish.. not soapy but like a scented candle. Niconactastic

Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic and Iwan Ries 3 Star Banner Lite.

Both are true aromatics but have a kick of vitamin N.

Almost bought some firedance the other day. May have to revisit that decision.

A pinch of Five Brothers will add some nic to any aromatic without really affecting the taste.

Ken Byron Ventures “Burlier Morning Pipe” has bits of plug with a really nice chocolate/coffee vanilla taste. I just recently tried it out and it’s not bad.

Done that one more than once, and it does indeed work!

Erinmore flake and University Flake have already been mentioned. So i will second those. UF is one of my favorite tobaccos, Have about a half a tin, its a good vitamin N hit.

Havent tried any Erinmore lately, when i heard that it wasnt going to be made any more, back in the oughts i bought all the square cans my local B&M had. Turned out production was continued but it never seemed to me to equal the original in topping. Its a butt kicker if you arent used to high nic tobaccos.

The other tobacco i thought of immediately was Royal Yacht, havent smoked any since dunhill quit making it but the current production made by peterson has gotten good reviews and peterson knows how to make a tasty high nic tobacco.

Idk if i should mention the lakelands, thats an aroma some dont enjoy and that might mark your pipe forever, but i have enjoyed Dark Flake Scented (sit down to smoke that one) and Bosons Cut Plug.

I don't consider Erinmore as being an aromatic in the proper sense of the word, rather I'd call it as semi-aromatic similarly to St Bruno , Condor Long Cut,or Amphora Full Red but all these aforementioned might satisfy your need in good tobacco with a satisfying nicotine content

Yeh, the new version doesn't have that distinctive strong nose burning urinal cake tin note that the older version had, and it is way lower in nicotine. I too fell in love with the flavor and the strength, now it is even pointless to try it to get a notion of what it was, because it is nothing like it was.
Condor is the same, nothing like it used to be.

Yeah i agree it transcended the aro designation, just by virtue of being a great tobacco under the topping and a nice dry smoke.

That topping was really unique. I could never really nail down the flavor, pineapple? apricot? mango? Anyway possibly the best aro i ever smoked.
