Nicotine Hit

[spike]

One word for me: burley.

I’ve been smoking a pipe almost 50 years and still can’t handle the stuff. Makes me sick. I’m a nic wimp.

The cigar I smoked a month ago put me down so hard I haven't touched anything since.
The craving for some sweet aromatics is just coming back.

Tambolaka, Royal Yacht, and Hal O the Wynd have all left me green in the gills before if I pick too big of a pipe. Something sugary, like a Coke, is usually a quick cure. I'm not diabetic, but I know that nicotine does have some impact on blood sugar levels.

I never had that problem save one time: I was enjoying a big bowl of Haunted Bookshop on a very empty stomach. Didn't exactly make me sick, but it did disorient me. Ever since, I've made it a point to never smoke on an empty stomach. Haven't had any problems since.

Haven't really ran into one of those. HH Rustica put me down once but that was only because I smoked four flakes at once. Usually if I'm wanting nicotine when smoking a pipe I have to have chewing tobacco or dip in my mouth while smoking.

I vow to never boast of nicotine tolerance in your presence.

If a person does not smoke too fast and makes sure they are getting plenty of fresh air while smoking, they are usually fine.

I find that the more I enjoy the blend, the faster I puff. I was paying mind to something else and the little devil in my head whispered to smoke faster. I do think I packed the pipe to much...the draw was bad.

 

[ChonkyTonks]

Pipe tobacco doesn't hit me. Before I changed my medications, Marlboro Red first thing in the morning will give me a knee bender. But don't even get that now days. Not clearly sure which med caused the change. I haven't changed any other wonderfully healthy life style I live (a pot of coffee before 10, half pack of cig a day, ton of pork and beef, occasional binge drinking, pipe smoking, no exercise...)

I only ever smoked reds when I lived in Costa Rica. $.25 pack of reds and a night of $1.50 gin and tonics. Ah, such memories.

I just popped a tin of Hal today. I guess I have something to look forward to in the morning.

Nightcap gave me the spins the first time I smoked it granted I was a noobie at the time (circa 2000) and was probably puffing like a freight train. Only other time it’s happened was with black twist. I thought I was going to puke. Now I just eat something before I smoke a stronger blend and I’m fine.

Brown Bogie got me sweaty!

I think it's more to do with my crazy metabolism. Smoking the claw now, I've got the other two packed and pre char lit to pick up when the claw is empty.

I seem to recall some comments from you about that. You have to eat a crazy amount of calories every day, yeah?

Absolutely, 4000 calorie minimum.

Usually only happens to me occasionally if I do back to back cigars or a cigar and a pipe, back to back. But when it does happen...it's time to lay down and regret smoking that 2nd one, lol

I find Happy brown boogie and Brown #4 can be intimidating.

 

[Alex.Jr]

HH bold Kentucky only, but not a super strong I’ve got to seat down kind of feeling.

Just hits me differently.

Best advice I ever heard:

"Look, god gave us two heads but only enough blood to run one at a time"

Tall blondes with big boobs. I'd have saved money by buying a Ferrari instead.

4000 calories/day would make me too heavy to walk. As I get older, I need to eat less just to maintain a proper weight.

Solani Aged Burley Flake has been the only tobacco to really put me down, twice.

 

[ChonkyTonks]

I had a pipe of C&D Kajun Kake this morning on an empty stomach. From the reviews on TR, it is purported to be a heavy hitter. Was no problem. I will have to try Sansepolcro anew to see how I fare.
