Substitute for 1792 Flake?

[nsfisher]

I am now out of 1792 Flake and I see 4noggins does not have any tins in stock. Is the Best Brown Flake similiar? If not, what would be the closest to 1792. I never smoke it as a stand alone, only as a layerer. Thanks for the help

Man I have to say that there is nothing I know of Samuel Gawith or otherwise that is similar to 1792. Best Brown is good but its not at all 1792. No topping at all, just a good grassy sweet like fresh timothy kind of Virginia flake. Sieverts doesn't have any?

I prefer ordering from 4noggins and I am kind of limited to what they carry. It doesn't have to taste like 1792 so long as it has the nic kick.

SG's Cob Flake is very similar. As ohinm said, 1792 is very unique.

If its just Lakeland strength that you want I suggest Gawith And Hoggarth Bosun Cut Plug or Gawith and Hoggarth Dark Birdseye. Bosun Cut Plug is a great tasting nicotine bomb and Dark Birdseye knocks me on my ass. Dark Birdseye has a nice thick creamy strong tobacco smoke that seems to butter the inside of your mouth while it lauches a fist full of nicotine at your head. i love the stuff but can't handle the nicotine. Makes my mouth water, gives me the hiccups and makes the room and my guts feel a little wobbly.

Maybe try some ropes as well.

Thanks for the info mate, appreciate it.

P&C Has 1792 in-stock at the moment brother and cupojoes has

a 250g box (1-per customer limit) as well ;-)

If you just want to try a tobacco with a good nicotine kick, try

Peterson's University Flake, or their Irish Flake. I guarantee either

one will lite your day. Irish Flake goes great with a good single malt.

I ordered some Dark Birdseye and Five Brothers for layering, also 100g tin of 7 Seas Royal for those mellow times.

Just picked up my first tin of 1792. Got some Grousemoor as well. Can't wait to get home and light up ::

Now I want some 1792 you bastards. I let my stash run out a while ago. It is one of those tobaccos that I need to be in the mood for and I smoke it in small bowls. I may have to soon replenish my high nicotine stash because this thread has got me thinking that I would love a little bowl of Dark Birdseye or 1792 or any one of the high nic tobaccos that I love but only smoke in moderation. Dark Birdseye is just pure strong friggin tobacco...it has a very very very subdued sweetness but a very very very strong tobacco flavour...it almost tastes like Copenhagen from what I remember of my dipping and chewing days.

I see my order has been shipped already, yay go 4noggins, I just love those guys. Order is always here in a couple days. Orin, if you want something high nic, have you tried the Hal O the Wind? I have some here if you want to swap or try a sample. Weather is fining off so soon time for a get together and BBQ anyway.

 

[ohin3]

I am a fan of Hal O The Wynd and yeah you are righ...it's soon gonna be BBQ time.

 

[thesmokindragon]

Mmm, 1792 is one of my Fav blends; all this talk about it now

has made me too want to smoke a bowl...got a nice tin from 2005

that I'm gonna pop open today....Salute all

From what I understand any twist or rope tobaccos are nic bombs! Mr. Snuff carries quite a few.

I have always been curious about ropes. You'd think that after 14 years of pipe smoking I would have tried them by now. Maybe we could go splits on a little sampler of ropes nsfisher.

 

[nsfisher]

Good idea but I don't know what I think of ropes. Never tried any and I would use it for layering anyway.

I think there is something wrong with my head cause I only enjoy layered pipes. I know I am chawing at the bit already just waiting for that Birdseye and 5 Brothers!

While it is not 1792 (I don't know of anything with a similar topping), G&H's Dark Flake and Scented Dark Flake are along the same lines. I am not much of an expert when it comes to the super strong Lakeland blends, they are just too much for me to enjoy. I do enjoy Bosun Cut Plug and Ennerdale Flake a lot though. They don't seem to have the same nicotine punch, but flavor wise they match somewhat nicely.
