Biggest nicotine hit

[Emperor Zurg]

Cross that off my list.

Oh, not totally!! I don't smoke the ropes straight. Guess I'm not man enough for that But they do make excellent blending agents to add some depth/body to a weak aromatic or Cavendish or OTC. Just don't try to smoke them straight up unless you're suffering from insomnia and looking for a cure Try cutting the HB with about 70% Prince Albert. Nice smoke with a decent punch. I tend to cube cut a coin or two into 1/8" to 3/16" squares, let them dry for an hour at least - usually longer, then sprinkle them in with some other blend as I'm filling a bowl.

Ah, yes. Not straight. Good advice.

I let it dry about 45 minutes and it was a little damp still. Perhaps if I do try it again I'll mix it into something that needs a little kick. Maybe the Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman pouch I have. VaPer/Happy Bogie blend?

[Emperor Zurg]

That might work. HB is basically a virginia. Maybe you'd end up with a VAper

Sending out a couple bomblets tonight and you're on the list; an interesting combo dreamed up by none other than @Tobias Lutz . I never would have thought of this. It's Pine Grove and G&H Dark Cherry twist. It makes for a really nice mix. It can really pack a punch too if you want it to. DCT is very similar to Happy Bogie but with just a hint of cherry flavor.

I mix Dark Flake (Unscented) and Dark Sliced (they're not the same) with Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake or Escudo. I can smoke my 30+ year old Happy Brown Bogie pigtail straight - it has mellowed with a lot of age.

I find that Gawith Hoggarth flakes and ropes are still very similar to what they were many years ago. They were always coarse, never subtle but always big on flavor and they still deliver. My advice when smoking the high nicotine mixture is to focus on controlling the volume of smoke. Sip them slowly.

Got the bomblet and Thank You Sir! Good stuff, interesting taste. I liked the combination quite a bit.

In addition to the others mentioned, Half & Half has always been satisfying in the nicotine sense for me.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Ya, that's a lot better way to enjoy a twist than trying to power thru it straight.
I credit @freestoke for the concept of blending ropes and twists as you would a mixed drink, and @Tobias Lutz for coming up with this particular combination. I've mixed that same Black Cherry Twist with Dan Sweet Vanilla Honeydew and that was tasty as well. I occasionally enjoy PS Cherry Bonbon but it's a rather 'empty' smoke, if you know what I mean... don't know how else to describe it. A sprinkling of BCT cubes is just what the doctor ordered to spice that blend right up.

Sheesh, the enablers on this site are just awful...

Well.... @Emperor Zurg

Leave it to me. I mixed my last Black Cherry coin with some Grousemoor last night

Wow! Good stuff! It is like a mix between Earl Grey, Cherry, and Lemon. In my pipe!

Yes please

(As far as nicotine hit though, not so much. Of course I smoked the Black Cherry straight and didn't even get a buzz...so YMMV)

[Emperor Zurg]

Grousemoor eh? Now I'm going to 'need' a tin of that, because that sounds delicious. I love Earl Grey tea.

The enabling on this site is out of control.

We're like the Canadian Mounties, we always get out man!
