Question Recommend an English or Balkan w/ a Nicotine Presence

As much as I enjoy Pease's Westminster and Abingdon, I'm not getting a hint of nicotine from either. It's not something I need, but I like how a present-but-not-sickening amount of nicotine enhances my relaxation and enjoyment.

I've got a tin of Penzance I haven't opened yet. Some reviews note nicotine, while others note it's absence. I realize this is something that varies from person to person, though. What about Samuel Gawith Balkan Flake? Any other English or Balkan blends that meet what I'm looking for?

Re: Recommend an English or Balkan w/ a Nicotine Presence

I like Balkan Flake but its not a true balkan with only VA and latakia. I'd also recommend SG Skiff Mixture and CAO/Dan Bill Baileys Balkan Blend. Wanna try SG Navy Flake? If you want samples of all of the above PM me your addy and I'll be happy to oblige.

Re: Recommend an English or Balkan w/ a Nicotine Presence

I absolutely love Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding. It's an addictive lip smacker so maybe it has nicoteen. I don't know. It's a VA blend with latakia and perique and has been called an enlish/balkan blend. This stuff is smooth and cool smoking but the smoke is thick and tasty. The first few bowls seemed bland but the flavor eventually kicked in. I ordered a second 2 oz tin last week but now I'm wishing I ordered an 8oz tin.

C&D Mississippi Mud - Cornell & Diehl - Mississippi Mud pipe tobacco reviews

A couple of bowls of this perique, latakia and cavendish and you'll know there some some nicotine in the blend. it is deep and dark. I gay-rown-tee.

You looking for something that tastes good but packs a nicotine rush I would suggest esoterica tobacco's "Margate" not quite as strong as night cap nicotine wise but you will feel the nicotine. Something even stronger though is "Artisans blend"by Astons. That one may be just as strong as Night cap.

Holy cowpie, the tin art alone makes my mouth water. It's the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

Penzance! Im not sure how much nicotine is there, but I love the stuff. Seems to be decently strong though.
