I am looking for suggestions of specific tobacco names, bulk or tinned that have low-med Nic hit. Yes I have and am searching the Tobacco review but it's still not the same as hearing someone say “I really like...”. I am also aware that what might hit one person lo can hit another one high, don't worry about that. I just want to know what -whoever may respond-enjoys. Thanks!

Many cased aromatics and Latakia blends are low nic. Virginias and Orientals are typically low in nicotine. Avoid Burley and Perique blends as they reach the higher ends of nicotine content.
There are plenty of Burley blends that have low-medium to medium in the nic department. Pegasus comes to mind, which is glorious. You might also try Solani Aged Burley Flake, and MacBaren HH Burley Flake, all low to low medium. Stay away from Cornell and Diehl's Burley Flake series though, if you're not wanting nicotine, those are really strong. Tasty though...
Plus one for Pegasus. However, if mild is what you want, try the codger blends.

I agree with Grangerous that the codger blends are low-nic and most of the Sutliff match blends are low in nicotine.
I'm in the camp that all pipe tobacco is low in nicotine unless you intentionally over do it.
I am learning a lot. Actually when someone first mentioned "Codgers" I thought it was a brand name of various tobacco blends. Imagine my surprise when I did a search on this forum and found a variety of ways that "Codger" is referred to.... some more uplifting than others! haha I want to thank you guys for giving me some general and some specific suggestions of names of mixtures that fit the "Codger" category. Now to scour the forums using the term "Codger" and see what else I can dig up. I have taken the suggestion that a few of you have given to try samples of typically 1 oz. when I can buy that little or 2 oz. at the most to try. I do set aside the ones that I am not so sure about and will come back and try them at 6 month intervals. Well the tobacco hunt continues!
When I first picked up a pipe twenty years ago I smoked a black raspberry aromatic and didn’t pick up a pipe again until ten years later. That’s when I bought a pouch of Prince Albert and it remains my favorite codger blend. There’s something comforting knowing that after a rough day at work I can fill up my cheap Grabow and have a smoke that has stood the test of time and has given a simple straight forward taste to pipe smokers for generations.
