    A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.

    A good article on nicotine content in the different tobaccos.

    https://www.smokingpipes.com/smokingpipesblog/single.cfm/post/nicotine-and-pipe-tobacco-blending

    This article made me do some thinking about the blends I like and what they could be. I like aromatics but they're usually a little light in the nicotine levels. Being a former cigarette smoker I'm used to large amounts of nicotine. I ordered 4oz of C&D Dark Burley to experiment with adding more nicotine to the blends I like. We'll see what happens....
