Yeah, a little nic buzz can be kind of pleasant, but a little more can be a bad trip. Smoking goes better after a sufficient meal, and even better after a substantial one. It also helps if you are staying hydrated by habit, that is drinking sufficient water. It's wise to try really strong nic blends late in the evening and then just sleep on them. Just don't smoke a pipe in bed if you are drowsy -- fire safety and all that.

I’m guessing my tolerance must be higher than most folks’. The ropes I’ve tried so far don’t really do anything to me nicotine-wise, and reportedly they are pretty strong. Black XX and Brown #4 give me a gentle nic effect with a big bowl, definitely not head-swimming. And I enjoy stuff like War Horse Bar, 1792, etc. That said, I mostly smoke pipe tobacco for the taste, not the nicotine.
