New Guy On Deck! Got my inaugural Petey in the mail today. The motherload of Codger Burley should be here tomorrow but my half pound of G&H Happy Bogie Sliced was in the package with the pipe. In my limited 30+ year experience most tobaccos hailed as uber strong are normally not up to the hype. I read similar remarks about OJK that is plenty stout for sure, but it's my all day every day smoke. One smoke in, I'd have to say that the hype was actually pretty close on this one. It's a great tobacco and has that acrid taste to it that will make you say, "That's one damn strong tobacco!" If you're familiar with Five Brothers, this one has a similar taste but is easily twice as strong without the shag cut. How strong is it you ask? I'm certainly no nic wimp. In fact I'm ingesting nicotine in some form (dip and pipes mostly but the occassional stogie is not out of the question) most of the day every day. My initial assessment at least is that this is most assuredly a bedtime smoke. I ain't saying it's strong or anything but half an hour or so after smoking a pipeful I inexplicably broke a sweat and felt VERY relaxed (no I was only half a PBR in.)
