well I got my first real nicotine hit tonight, felt super dizzy, sweats, and really had to sit down....I guess I puffed a little tooooo fast. Not a fun time.
My first pipe tobacco nic hit came from Happy Brown Bogie. Ha, I had to put the pipe down and go lay down.
Yeah it can ruin a night.
I’ve had to just go to bed from it.. feeling all like crap.

It's an uncomfortable feeling to be sure. If it happens again, a spoonful of sugar/honey will make you feel better.
Or a soda if you start to feel a little weird.
I get a little green in the gills if I smoke a alot and miss a meal.. no bueno.
In my experience caffeine allows you to handle more nicotine.

Yeah good point on the food. I’ve mainly encountered a problem when I haven’t eaten or have gone a long time without eating. I tend to do that sometimes.
I never got a strong nic hit from any pipe tobacco but I tried some Red Man Golden chewing tobacco once and I heaved for an hour.
Used to love nic hit every morning with Marlboro Red. Now, not so much. Pipe smoke hasn't hit me yet.
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.
The dizzyness and queasyness comes from a huge drop in blood sugars, after the nicotine has released all of your available supply. A bite of chocolate or fruit will immediately offset that feeling.
Got a mild case of hiccups a few times but never nauseous. I don't smoke those GH Ropes though.
I was done with them after my go with Brown Bogie. I have no desire for high nic blends. That’s why I passed up on Rustica.
Welcome to the big boys club. Iced water and dark choc all around
After 35 yrs of a tin a day dipping the ole Copenhagen, I guess that I have developed a “nicotine immunity”. Glad you survived though!
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.
I rarely have problems with nicotine but the black dog turds from SG will sure do it.
Red Man Golden Blend was one of my regulars when I chewed. It was usually either Golden Blend or original. I never liked the Silver Blend though.
