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.
Irish Flake for me. I smoked a bowl that lasted from Toledo to Pontiac during a rush hour drive. When i stepped out of the car on arrival my head was spinning and legs were wobbly.
MacB H&H ODF without a doubt.
I have an extremely high tolerance for nicotine. As I say here often, I have a dip in 15 hours a day....and that's barely an exaggeration.
Every time the ODF gets me wanting a Coke or a Hershey bar.
Ive literally never felt anything from any other blend.

Still going with this answer after 3 years. I've not gotten any kind of nicotine hit from any pipe blend mentioned in this thread without massive use ie four flakes of HH Rustica in one smoke.
Mapacho, but unfortunately Rustica doesn’t get along with my chemistry.
I’m sure there is much stronger blends, but GH Dark Flake Scented I’ve found to be the strongest blend I’ve tried to date. It is however very delicious and if handled sippingly/slowly; can be a very pleasurable experience. Super tasty…just don’t attempt to freight train it!
