I have been a pipe/cigar smoker for over 15 years and just tried my first kit. Since I'm not a inhaler, I couldn't decide what level nicotine to get, so I went with 6 mg. All, I can say is wow! I love the flavor, but I got hit between the eyes with a nicotine rush that was easily cooled by a sugary drink. There are plenty of tobaccos on the market that can kick your rear end in the pipe and cigar world. Having said that, it's a great experience. No more having to go outside, no more pipe bowl cleaning and no more babysitting a humidor. I think that 6 mg is going to do me just fine and the horizons are bright, full of tons of juice and mods galore.
