I noticed that in their ad copy - mental note to add an ounce or two to my next Pipes and Cigars order.

Sam Gawith Brown #4 is one you should definitely smoke while sitting down. Preferably on the commode :)
Perique seems to be a pretty good vector for vitamin N in whatever blend it's in. A fellow on the old forum (maybe one of you guys, I forget who) talked about smoking straight perique for a real kick in the pants. So I had to try it. Couldn't even make it thru half a bowl in a mini-meer.
I think personal tolerances change and evolve. @freestoke mentioned that he now has a greater tolerance for nicotine than in the past.
Gawith & Hoggarth tend to make coarse, strong, well made and intended tobaccos. I have to take the Dark Flake only occasionally but they make strong stuff that this as well.
There will be a new entry to this category coming Friday, March 20th. I can't say any more than that right now.

I'm glad I was invited to join. I missed the Puff crew. Fire Storm is being put away as I write this and should begin shipping out. The feedback has been outstanding. I don't know if it ranks up there with the powerhouses that everyone has mentioned, but it's no lightweight, for sure.

Ok, so... The old adage "be careful what you ask for." Yes. Be careful. I asked an old timer that I know if he'd tried Happy Bogie and he's like "oh yeah, I've got some of that. Here, try it."
So I just got up from the floor just now. Wow! Granted, it was fairly new and I'd never tried it but holy cow is that heavy in nicotine! I only smoked a half bowl and even after I'd had a bite to eat I felt the hit. Not a really great flavor, but I could see a similarly between cigar tobacco which I smoke a lot of. But its been a while since I'd experienced that kind of hit.
Cross that off my list.
