Dark Plug and Dark Flake Scented by Gawith Hoggarth are some of the stronger tobaccos ive had and they have ton of of flavor. Highly recommend both.
That is for next time for sure. I have read about it in the forum, but let me play the minor leagues first before going major!
Most of the roads for strong tobacco leads either to Samuel Gawith and Gawith Hoggerth. I have noted them down. Will order some of each in the next TAD orders for sure.
+1 on the Bold Kentucky. He is one Bad a$$ SOB. The strength of the last third of the bowl is Surreal. 
I placed an order on it yesterday.

Someone possibly already mentioned this, but 'five brothers' is heavy. Cotton boll is ridiculous.
I've never gotten a nic hit from smoking a pipe, but all the blends mentioned are wonderful!
I'm with chasingembers, I seem to be immune to nicotine. I predominately smoke the strongest tobaccos available: 1792, MB Bold Kentucky, Irish Flake, 5 brothers, Revor and all of the GH ropes and plugs. Even with big bowls, I detect not even a faint change in my brain chemistry, other than a feeling of satisfaction and satiation. My favourites for flavour, although not strong at all in my book, are Old Dark Fired and GLP Jacknife plug. The strongest of all, IMO, is an Indonesian tobacco called Tambolaka, but I don't think it tastes very good and is a bugger to prepare.
Yea, Old Dark Fired is not really strong to me either. I think the Bold Kentucky is better and stronger. I’ve been sitting on some tins of Jack Knife Plug for awhile and finally opened a tin. Wow! It’s strong. It almost closed my throat off, made my tongue float, and gave me the hiccups. To me, Jackknife is way better than The McBaren offerings of Dark Fired, In the flavor and strength department.
I got some fantastic recommendations- Thank you all.
I will try @chasingembers recipe of 50% ODF and 50% SG Black XX Twist very soon. I have both of them. I generally smoke Black XX on a Sunday afternoon, so this Sunday may be a time to try it
I ordered 3 tobacco from above - GH Dark Flake, Macbaren Bold Kentucky and War Horse Bar (First 3 recommendations)
I also ordered C&D Burley #1 which is also supposed to be very strong.
I have noted down the rest for subsequent purchases.
I mostly smoke blends which are mild in Nicotine - Strong Blends are occasional smokes. One of the reasons for strong tobacco being my occasional smoke, is because two strong blends I have currently is so difficult to prepare (SG Ropes) .
I smoke cigarettes as well. Some strong tobacco in the pipe might reduce some craving for cigarettes.

I'd say five brothers is a good strong one as well as Semois by Victor Manil that stuff might kill you if you smoke it in a large enough bowl. Though almost any blend can give me a rush if I smoke it fast.
? On Five Brothers. Not complex, but hits the spot early in the morning with strong black coffee. Breakfast of champions. With that much nicotine and caffeine flowing, one is ready to seize the day.
Nice haul! The Dark Flake (can't tell if it's scented or unscented), Burley Flake, and WarHorse, I would rank up there with some of the strongest. I am not familiar with the Reiner blend, but, the Bold Kentucky is more about the flavor than nicotine, IMO. And, I'm not sure why the AGF is in there. It is what I would consider more of an all day thing. All will surely be a joy to explore for the first time. Enjoy!!
