Default Nicotine wimp or superman

I don't seem to get a nicotine buzz from anything unless it's a gawith rope and even that is very slight. The only tobacco I get a buzz off of is if I dip some copenhagen. People talk about a buzz from HOTW or FVF and I just can't see it, what is your experience with getting that buzz from pipe tobacco. Are you a wimp or superman?

I started the pipe to ween off of cigarettes. It has helped reduce the number I smoke, but after a nice long bowl I still light a cigarette immediately afterwards for the missing nicotine. I've yet to get any type of buzz from pipe tobacco.

I'm a wimp. I've gotten very lightheaded from pipe tobacco, to the point of nausea on one occasion.

I used to smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day, many many moons ago, but have since lost all my tolerance for nicotine.

Tis a shame, too. Sometimes I just don't want the bowl to end, or would like anothe immediately afterwards, but my stomach wouldn't handle it.

I dip and smoke cigars a few times a week. So I guess I am a superman, the nicotine from my piping isnt enough to give me a buzz.

Haven't smoked a pipe much, but have been dipping smokeless tobacco for 20+ years. I don't get the nic buzz from the stronger cigars though, smoked a LFD chisel the other day and it was very good, but didn't give me no rush or anything.

The only thing that has really knocked me down is 1792. Since then I have avoided the high nic powerhouses. I haven't really been effected by HOTW but it does keep me up at night if I smoke it close to bedtime.

I have very light breakfasts (sometimes just some coffee) so, if I have a pipe before lunch, filled with a medium strenght blend, sometimes I feel a little nic-punch, even being a hard cigarette smoker for about 15 years.

I had the gawith rope and my ass was kicked after! That is definitely the only pipe tobacco that I've had any buzz from.

The Gawith rope is starting to gain my interest, I want to try it. I have not buzzed off of pipe tobacco, a Litto Gomez cigar messed me up once.
