High Nicotine Content
mark wright
pacify my addiction for cigarette nicotine while enjoying a much more
pleasant activity. Anyone have any suggestions, know the types of
tobacco I should be looking for in blends, or know of any reports on
pipe tobacco nicotine levels. I strongly prefer nonaromatic tobacco.
Thanks for any help.

Mark,
Go to http://www.pipes.org, find the A.I.T.S Tobacco Index, and search
through that for anything that is declared to be "full strength."
My personal preferences are Rum Flake and Coniston Cut Plug, both by
Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. (and the latter not listed in the AITS Index), but
must be obtained from a UK tobacconist at UK price plus shipping and
handling. Gawith halted exports to North America due to increases in the
cost of liability insurance and other expenses.
If the G&H flakes are not strong enough for you, try their flavored Beacon
Light Twist (e.g. Rum Twist), the stronger Black Twist, and, for old pipe
smokers who tend to be parsimonious in their pleasures and for those with
an overwhelming death wish, the infamous Brown Twist.
Somewhat less potent things you may be able to find in a U.S. pipe shop:
Dunhill's Elizabethan, Nightcap, and 965 (mix the last two together, as
the 965 is very much on the mild side by itself), Rattray's Black Mallory,
J.F. Germain's Stonehaven.
Or call Craig Tarler at C&D and have him send you a sampler of some of his
more potent mixtures. Bayou Night, Mountain Camp, and perhaps Blockade
Runner and Black Frigate might be good things to start with. Do allow
them to age a little before smoking though. The few days they age in
transit is not enough to let the tobaccos meld and the flavors develop.

punch. As does Aleister.
For straight Virginia flakes, Rattray's Marlin Flake and Old Gowrie. For
straight Virginia, Rattray's Hal o' the Wynd.
Although Latakia is not itself a high nicotine content tobacco, some
smokers absorb it quickly and so find heavy English mixtures pretty
potent.

get a bunch of their brown pigtail. You'll feel like a bug sprayed with

I'm looking for a high nicotine content pipe tobacco so maybe I can
pacify my addiction for cigarette nicotine while enjoying a much more
pleasant activity. Anyone have any suggestions, know the types of
tobacco I should be looking for in blends, or know of any reports on
pipe tobacco nicotine levels. I strongly prefer nonaromatic tobacco.
Thanks for any help.

Cyprian Latakia is notably low in nicotine, while Syrian Latakia, the stuff
that no one can get their hands on anymore, is very strong, weighing in with
more nicotine than Burley or even Perique. I have no measured data at hand,
but I've seen more than one assay of the stuff which put the nicotine level
at over 5%. Burleys are in the neighborhood of 3%, Perique is reported to
be about 4%. Most VIrginias are around 2%, while Turkish tobaccos and
Cyprian Latakia hover around 1%. Just thought you'd like to know.

Mark McClellands No.24 Virginia. I smoked a bowl at my local tobacco shop a
couple weeks ago. It's the first tobacco buzz I've had since I smoked my
first Kool Filter King by Little White Oak Bayou in Houston in 1966. Once I
got over that it's a really good tobacco. Smoked dry and sweet from top to
bottom. Give it a whirl. No pun intended.
Good Luck
Thomas

blend to be strong when compared to milder blends. Is it all just nicotine
content? Take for example your Aleister (which I love BTW). Why does this
blend of Virginia, Perique, Burley & Black Cav. seem to be stronger than
some other tobaccos which share similar constituents. For me, the strength
manifests as a tingling sensation in the throat & a rough sensation to the
nasal passages when smoke is exhaled through the nose. Does this whole
perception of strength come from nicotine content alone? Which component
gives Aleister its characteristic strength? Thanks, John

Aleister IS strong, John! It's loaded with Perique, for one thing, and
Burley, and the Virginia is not of the weak variety.
But, nicotine is not the only thing we represent as strength. Sometimes, a
tobacco seems "strong" if there are a lot of flavour componenents, though
this won't have the same effect on the body. Additionally, the pH of a blend
alters the way the nicotine gets absorbed transcutaneously through the
mucousa in the mouth, and also alters the digesting tract effects...Aleister
smoked in large quantities by wimps like me will get my head spinning long
before nausea sets in, while some other strong tobaccos I've smoked can
really turn my stomach. (I was afraid of Virginias for years because of
this little effect!)
There are lots of things recruited in perceptions of smoking, many organic
compounds, esters, the moisture content of the smoke, the pH. Latakia smoke
is full of oils and volatilized organic compounds, which gives the illussion
of strength, even if there is less nicotine than in the smoke of a Virginia
blend.
An interesting feature of Aliester is its smoothness. More than one here
have called it the "Iron Hand in the Velvet Glove." Many tobaccos of
similar strength are a little more on the harsh side. The pH of Aleister is
quite neutral, which gives it the smoothness.

Gregory

tobaccos. If anyone else has suggestions, I wanted to narrow the scope
of my taste preference to Oriental/latika blends. Thanks again.

Who makes Aleister?
Thanks

John Roi
Aleister, Oasis, Templar & A Winter's Tale. All 5 are fantastic & highly
recommended! I consider them to be equal or better in quality to the
Esotericas! Their phone # is (510) 232-8581. John

Mark, I would recommend Edgeworth Sliced for high nicotine content.

those that are strong in nicotine, IMHO. The best are both! :)

There is also a third category of strength, which is discernably different
from both taste (in the conventional meaning) and nicotine. I simply call
it "tars," for lack of a better term. It gives the smoke substance and
body, and provides long-lasting physiological and mental effects that
for me are of an importance ranking with pleasant taste and ample nicotine.
Found especially in traditional British tobaccos by Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.
Cheers!

have tried that can really knock me out if smoked too fast.
Irish twist from the U.K. is supposed to be really strong. I have
some, but haven't had the nerve to try it.

From what I've been able to find, Green River Black Cavendish is rated highest in nicotine. I have some blends with 100% GRBC such as my Midnight and Old Dominion. Check out my web site at SterlingTobaccoCo.com.

It does provide an excuse for publicizing availability of GRBC blends, so
it will be considered a contribution to the newsgroup, by some.
