One of the first pipe tobaccos I smoked as a novice was Peterson Irish Flake. It left me knockout on the living room couch, I looked like a corpse, as my wife told me scared. Damn, that shit was incredibly tasty.

The boldest flavor for me is MB HH Bold Kentucky. I really enjoy it right behind Old Dark Fired which is my absolute favorite blend. I've been seeing Peterson's Irish Flake mentioned a lot and I'm thinking of grabbing a tin lighting some up and see how it compares to ODF. Enjoy
This is a funny story.
Hopefully you got to repeat the flavor without passing out.
I should add that I really enjoy Irish Flake and its little brother, University Flake when in the mood for something lighter but flavorful.
Tambolaka.
I was big into the puff.com forums over a decade ago, and we put in a group order for these little logs of tobacco bound in jungle-made rope. I've steamed and cut the first log and the second is untouched in a jar. I've probably smoked less than a quarter of that first log.
A lot of us got nicotine sick just from processing a log. It is much more difficult than cutting a normal plug - so it requires a lot of handling. I wore nitrile gloves and still got an insane/sickly buzz from inhaling particulate during rubbing out the leaf.

Just tried some five brothers. Wow, that knocked me on my ass, I'll probably mix it into another blend next time.
I have tried a decent number of different tobaccos in my short time as a pipe smoker and the first one that gave me nic sickness was HH Old Dark Fired. Which stinks because I love the taste, but I can only smoke it in small amounts. Even after a big dinner, smoking a full bowl made me lightheaded and a little nauseous. Because of this, it's made me a little gun shy with other tobaccos that are rated strong, so i tend to steer clear of those. Not to say I won't ever try some of them, but for now, for me, medium or lower.
