When I bought this on a whim from EA Carey I tried a bowl or two fresh and was a bit taken aback by the nicotine. Lets say I am not a novice pipe smoker and I had an attack of the nic hiccoughs. Fast forward and a month later I decided to give it another go in a falcon after some half an hour of drying time. Definitely strong, but now manageable with some delicate puffing and the breath method. It smells good in the jar, definitely an old school codger blend with notes of leather and hay and a barnyard undertone. Lights effortlessly and maintains a slow smoulder. No bite and a full pleasant taste. Did however give me the jitters if no hiccoughs. Too strong for me.
