I mix Dark Flake (Unscented) and Dark Sliced (they're not the same) with Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake or Escudo. I can smoke my 30+ year old Happy Brown Bogie pigtail straight - it has mellowed with a lot of age.

I find that Gawith Hoggarth flakes and ropes are still very similar to what they were many years ago. They were always coarse, never subtle but always big on flavor and they still deliver. My advice when smoking the high nicotine mixture is to focus on controlling the volume of smoke. Sip them slowly.
