Never been a cigarette smoker. I also enjoy long leaf chew. I never once got a nicotine buzz from a pipe, cigar or chew and thought, man I like this. Its kind of annoying and I always just can’t wait for it to end. I know sugar counteracts the effects and will eat sugar or chocolate if I need too.
Thankfully I have built up a decent tolerance so I can enjoy most blends.
I never once reached for tobacco, looking for a buzz. It annoys me. I don’t see how this could be enjoyable. Everything for me is strictly flavor. So how does one start consuming nicotine and actually enjoy it? Not that I want to, I really don’t get it.
Please share your thoughts.

Like you, I don't enjoy the nicotine buzz.

I seem to be constitutionally immune to the effects for the most part. If I smoke Picayune mid afternoon, I can get "niccups."

I have to go along with the Father and the Mayor. Constitutional immunity and addiction. I get pretty grumpy if I can’t smoke my pipe.

I enjoy Alcohol. And enjoy the effects of it. I have never felt the same about nicotine
