Recently started smoking rope tobacco and I have to say I love it. My favorite is Gawith XX black. The closest thing I can compare it to is eating a steak.

The thick mouth feel is like no other smoking experience. I have to smoke slowly and deliberately. Lots of relights but I don't mind. If I sip too much it overpowers me. But it provokes a sense of contemplation unlike any other pipe tobacco I've tried.

The heavy, pungent smoke is definitely not "wife friendly" but I don't have a wife so no problem there. It puts my brain in slow motion in the best possible way.

Just curious as I'm relatively new to pipes, are you reffering to coin tobacco or you literally mean you slice it from a rope?

Love coins but havnt tried rope.

Just go easy at first. If you feel a little strange, that's fine. If you feel really strange, then stop puffing for a few minutes. Don't puff just to keep it going. Pay close attention to your body.
In short, don't be like this guy:

Haven't tried any yet, but they're on my radar. I'm strangely attracted to the G&H Cherry Twist, but afraid at the same time...... I'd try anything by them or SG or Germain.

I don't want to jack this thread, but is there anyway I can save and share that video from tapatalk with someone who's not on this site? That was crazy! Haha!

I'm not sure I understand why rope would have more nicotine than flake, say.....? It would depend on the tobacco it's made out of not the shape it's pressed into, no?
