New Nicotine Kick

[bearwolf56]

In the last week or so I have noticed a notable boost in the nicotine hit I'm getting from my pipe smoking. I've been smoking a pipe now for 16 years. I started mainly as a substitute for cigarettes with my morning coffee. I usually only had time for one bowl before work. So, I wasn't an all-day or more than one bowl smoker. I retired back in January, so my pipe smoking has increased. Now it's two or three bowls a day, all usually in the morning. I haven't changed my tobacco or my pipes but recently my first bowl now has a definite nicotine kick I hadn't noticed before. I'm not complaining. I have cut way down on my Skoal usage and I love the feeling of that kick. It's consistently every morning now. i was wondering if this kind of thing has happened to any of you guys?

Yes, for me it is very much the same. The exception is that it has cut back my vaping to almost half if not more. I started vaping to get off cigs of 40-plus years. Now I will have a bowl throughout the day instead of vaping. I seem to get enough nic and enjoy the pipe a great deal. I still use General Snus when in public and can not smoke or vape. I now prefer smoking the pipe the most and getting the nic I need. Vaping messes with my eyesight and know this to be an issue for me. Since starting up with the pipe it has gone away. Being retired and at home most of the time now I believe pipe smoking has fit my need perfectly for me.
