I was given once some Pigtail twist tobacco... It was like "space travelling"... Same effect with the first couple of draws with Camel non filter cigarettes.
Note: with pipe/cigars I do not inhale.

Not quite the same thing. But Green tea technically contains more caffeine then black tea does. But the processing makes it more readily available in both the liquid tea extracted from the leaves but also more easily absorbed into your blood stream. With tobacco the factors that effect nicotine getting into your blood stream are even more numerous and variable. This includes your own biological processes and chemistry.
Or in other words a convoluted and enthusiastic "heck yes" to the original question.

I’ve been a nic junkie for decades. I’ve got probably 60 pk/years of cigarette use prior to switching to an air-freshener (vape) that I’m constantly (ab)using when I’m not asleep.
So that’s where I’m at when not indulging in a pipe, and probably why even as a relatively new pipester I prefer blends that most reviewers relegate with warnings to be for “experienced pipe smokers”

I used to enjoy cigars, but only occasionally as I inhale them way too much as can only smoke 1/3-1/2 of or at a time.

I partially inhale pipe tobacco quite a bit as I clench 95+% of the time. It’s not something I recommend, or am proud of-it’s just what I do.

Every once in a while, I get the nic-cups or a touch queasy. I find it more related to hydration level than food satiation (I work outdoors in the desert so I’m very mindful of hydration). This is similar to my experience as a caffeine junkie as well.
