I have some of the H&H Steamroller on the way. Let's see how that works out. Russ claims it is the strongest blend they have produced.
Just Learned About Niccups

I LOVE SG Bracken Flake, and it has Tonquin.
I also enjoy H&H Old Tartan, which has Deer Tongue. Old Tartan, to me is mild-medium, no nic kick, and no hiccups.
Old Tartan and Crooner have s similar tin note. Not exact, but you can smell the Deer Tongue in both.
However, you can SEE lots and lots of tiny little green specs, which is the deer tongue in Crooner. So I am guessing Crooner has lots more deer tongue than Old Tartan.

In the past, I've been hit by the dizziness and nausea and at the time I claimed on this board to have had the "nic-ups" which to my mind was a play on the term "sick-up". I never dreamed that it was actually referring to uncontrollable hiccups. That's strange and weird and awesome and unfortunate all rolled together. :D
At the time of my dizzy attacks I swore off the N-laden blends. I'm too much of a lightweight and I likes what I likes, and I don't likes feeling sick.

Kevin,
I have heard people comment that Crooner has too much deer tongue so I think you may be right with your assessment. I didn't think the coumarin was the cause, just seemed to be a tenuous connection between both situations. With all that said, I'm still looking forward to trying it - even though cube cuts are a pain to me. Anyone ever have John Patton's Gold Nugget Mixture? Is that a better deer tongue blend?
Simon,
I am usually unaffected by tobaccos consistently rated "medium" but I am by no means a heavy smoker, so every time I flirt with one I take a chance at sickness. It sure isn't pleasant. While I'm sure it would take no time to get over it if I smoked a little more often, it's not worth it to me - I'd rather stay on the milder end of the spectrum like yourself with occasional forays into moderate nic territory. C&D Pennington Gap was the only one to ever make me throw up - I was drunk, smoked a bowl quickly, went in to brush my teeth and made myself gag by accident, straight into the sink. lol

Ok, from years of schmoking, I can say that you can get the hiccups and that funny feeling in your stomach because you actually swallowed the smoke that you have taken in, your stomach does not like smoke and causes an adverse reachtion, to stop the hiccups though there is a simple remedy, get a large glass of water and drink 7-10 sips of water while intentionally holding your breath, it works. as for the teh stomach just stop swallowing smoke :mrgreen:
i sometimes get niccups, light headedness and pre-nausea if i smoke too much or too quick (same goes for cigars, which hit harder)....one tip is to do what the Cubans do when they have smoked a couple of fat gars and want to keep smoking: suck on a couple of sugar cubes (or drink some sugary drink, like 7-UP, Sprite, or eat some sweet confectionary etc.)..,not sure why but sugary liquid in your stomach stops the nausea and niccups dead
Light headedness and nausea. Sometimes belching from too much of "something" in a blend. No niccups though. First Responders used to give me a major "Fat Head." Crooner is predominately a cube cut burley blend with Deer Tongue - looks like Bunny Food in the pouch. Not my favorite - but hey! Bing liked it.
A couple weeks ago I posted about having recent experiences with Prince Albert where this happened. Smoked some MacBarren Navy Flake last night and got hiccups. It doesn't ever seem to happen with Latakia blends though.
