African Red has a nic content of 2.98%. It has a mild flavor but is richer than the VG's. It is smokable after 3-4 months of hanging. African Red and Costello Negro are 2 of my favorite bright leafs. http://nwtseeds.com/African Red.htm

The Kentucky Burleys (KY15, KY17, KY8635) fall in between Golden Burley and TN90 in both flavor and nic content. Green Bryor is close to TN90 and the original Burley 21 is really strong. It needs a year to age. At 3-4 months it will still knock you on your butt. lol
The original Orinoco is a good medium flavored smoke, somewhat similar to the Marylands. It has a nic content of 4.27%. It's a pretty good stand alone tobacco for a cigarette or in a blend, and gives it enough kick for me to notice. I grew Gold Leaf Orinoco last year. It is a much heavier producer than the original and cures like a bright leaf. I tried some a month or so back but it wasn't ready yet. Still tasted and smelled perfumy. I'm hoping it has a slightly lighter flavor but the same nicotine kick to it.
Trying to judge the nic content of tobacco without some real chemical analysis is pretty subjective. It depends greatly on the person smoking it. Some people are pretty sensitive to nicotine while others (like me) can smoke just about anything and hardly notice it.
