Ryback nicotine question
People have warned me that Ryback is very high in nicotine and even stronger than an American Spirit Black of the same weight.
I’ve been smoking 1g worth of it in each ryo cigarette and I’m not really having that experience. Although it’s nice and strong in flavor, throat hit, etc, I feel as it is about the same for me (nicotine-wise) as smoking a Spirit Yellow or sometimes a Blue.
I’m very happy with it as I was worried that it would pack too much of a nicotine punch but seems just right.
Just wondering if anyone else has felt overwhelmed by the strength or have the same experience as me.

I found it to set me chill quite well but i have been smoking mostly gold and natural from other brands since i started myo a few months ago. An occasional ryback is just about right for a happy hour or evening smoke with a bit more kick.

Hey just out of curiosity, what have you been smoking for the gold and natural? Even though the Ryback doesn’t hit me too hard, I still want to kind of reduce my nicotine while still being able to smoke my normal amount or keep it natural. Problem is that most of what I tried aren’t really good like OHM and Good Stuff and all that.

Good stuff has been my main. Just finished making a carton of ohm blue which is about the same. Those are my daily smokes. I guess it isn't the best stuff but better than the 24/7s I was smoking that cost 3x as much while still being the cheapest pack i can get. I have a bag of three sails also. A lot of people mix it with ryback or reccoment ryback gold which is supposedly the same thing. Haven't tried it yet. Worried it may be too light by itself but i will find out soon. In the meantime plan on buying some more Great Stuff Gold with my next batch just as a staple.
