Looking for a Richer Tobacco

[Patrick Maynard]

Welcome! You'll find good answers below- I'm a Balkan lover, so no help with VA's.

Also, please introduce yourself in Newcomer's area!

Hello, I'm a new member here. Have been smoking a pipe on and off for a couple of years and now i'm looking to switch cigarettes for a pipe permanently. I've tried St Bruno tobacco, Peterson's early morning pipe and a couple of others i can't remember the names of. But now i'm looking for something richer/ stronger, something that hits the throat a little bit harder. Any suggestions?

Thank you, Patrick.

Richer, stronger, best quality Virginia that's still in production? Sam Gawith and Gawith & Hoggarth.

Try some rope or plug. Gawith makes a few.

 

[blackpowderpiper]

Peterson Irish Flake
Gawith Rope Tobaccos
Sam Gawith 1792 Flake
C & D Burley Flakes
C & D Ole Joe Krantz/Haunted Bookshop

These are just a few of many.

C&D Winchester is cigar like.

Oh, and welcome aboard.

Plus 1 for Haunted Bookshop and OJK.
For bold tobaccos you can't go wrong with Gawith Hoggarth's: Kendal Dark, Kendal Kentucky, or Dark Birdseye. I tend to prefer a strong smoke and these are about as rich and satisfying as you can get in my opinion.

I like GL Pease Sixpence when I want something richer in flavor.

I've been enjoying War Horse Bar lately. Not sure how that compares to St Bruno, since I haven't opened my tin of that yet.

I'll put in another vote for Haunted Bookshop and any version of Old Joe Krantz. If you're looking for something with a throat hit maybe something with a good amount of Perique.

Welcome! Second Sablebrush’s comment.

Samuel Gawith Brown No.4 Twist is a sturdy smoke and if you're in the UK i'd recommend trying Revor Plug.

Im trying to switch to pipe too. I just found Morning Bayou, and I like it. I don't want to call if a cigarette but to me its peppery and has body.

 

[anotherbob]

also patience helps. Just acclimating to pipe smoking and learning the ropes makes almost all tobacco richer. But you seem to want kick. Try something burly or dark fired maybe.

C&D Pegasus or Kellys Coin.

G'day and welcome from Oz. Over 12 years ago I was hopelessly addicted to cigarettes. Cravings would hit 30 minutes after the last lung buster. The changes to my smoking habits after switching exclusively to a pipe have simply been remarkable.
My only regret is not making the switch long before I did.
No longer do I crave [more like a hankering for a puff ] I'm able to go most of the day without when otherwise occupied [like when driving an 18-speed truck]
Going without is no longer an issue. Now I'm smoking way less as a result.

To be free from the cigs, one must go all in or nothing. [Before I switched to a pipe, quit attempts were torture. Just one ciggie was all it took to fall off the wagon]

Interesting that you're going for "richer/stronger" tobacco.
Having been led astray by anti-smoking propaganda, I figured that nicotine was the cause of my addiction but now I'm not so sure.
Research revealed that tailor-made cigarettes have a staggering 300-600 added chemicals, some of which I'm convinced are more addictive than the nicotine. [For the record; pipe tobacco has no nasty chems added {some aromatics have a little harmless propylene glycol as a humectant}]

Now I only smoke mild, mild to medium blends with mild Vit N.
Although I still inhale a little smoke every several or so puffs, the longer I smoke a pipe, the less I inhale.

The "richer/stronger" blends would turn me green these days but that's fine with me because I finally got the addiction monkey off my back.

Nonetheless, it intrigues me how many members here smoke the strong stuff yet none report cravings.
I'd be interested to hear your experience once you've successfully switched exclusively to a pipe.

Good luck. The first week without cigs is the hardest [but nowhere near as bad as a quit attempt] but it only gets better from there.

Welcome from Philly.

My recommendations right now are 1792 flake for depth of flavor. For back of the throat, definitely Peterson's Irish Flake. You will get a tonne of flavor and your throat will feel it. I find that Chenet's Cake can do the same, but more so on the retrohale.

Thanks for you message Chopper and hello to you from Britain! I also have my doubts about nicotine being the addictive thing about smoking. For me the feeling of cigarette smoke entering my lungs is what i seem to enjoy, which is also the hardest thing about smoking a pipe, it sort of leaves me feeling dissatisfied or like i haven't had a smoke! But i'm expecting to gradually get used to the change over time. That might also be why i'm after a richer tobacco with more kick. Thanks mate
