Can anyone recommend a good English style tobacco, hopefully in bulk, that has a higher nicotine content than the majority of others? I like Nightcap a lot and I'm looking to experiment with others like it. Thanks in advance, TB
+1 on C&D Billy Budd. It knocked my socks off. I've been smoking a pipe for 40+ years, and that one was a little tough for me. But, not as tough as SG's 1792 (not an aro, though), for me.
My .002
I like the sound of that Newminster and the price is crazy too (good). It is backordered, but I will order some in a week or so and see if it fits the bill. Thanks for the tip.
This may not help the OP, exactly, but I often skip latakia blends because of the low nicotine. Sometimes, though, I will take a VA flake and rub it out with a couple of pinches of a latakia blend like Dunhill 965, Margate, etc. This gives you the nic kick you're looking for, but with some of the complexity and variety you get from latakia blends.
This was sort of discussed in another recent thread. If you didn't see it:
