What's it like smoked in a pipe? Is it burley based? Strong, medium, mild?
It is a rustica blend. It is the absolute most powerful nicotine I’ve ever smoked, with a strong flavor like a really strong cigar.
I smoke it to put myself to sleep at night, sometimes not being able to get up and drag my ass the several yards from my chair to bed.

My first bowl of it ever was on the back deck after dinner one weekend. I just sort of “came to” in the middle of the night with half the bowl unsmoked, and soaked in rain.

That sounds more like opium then rustica. Would you have been fine with surgery being performed on you at the time? If so it might be dilaudid!!

All of the descriptions I've read just say it's burley.
From the little I've sampled of my homegrown, grown right, some straight Burley can be pretty stiff.

Then again I retro and chug straight burley like a fine straight aged virigina cause I love that 'ish.

Funny enough I've always thought the personal chemistry adage was bull. But a bowl of 1792 seems to give more of a nic hit than "Stronger" blends, including lotsa these ropes, including "Rustica" blends. Different strokes and all that.

It seems like there was not a solution to being able to purchase this online. I've heard it might be able to be found in TN. Anybody know of that?
