| I have been hearing really good things about this blend since I started frequenting pipe forums. I finally got around to placing an order with 4 noggins and included 4 ounces of BHT in the order. After smoking a couple bowls this evening, I really wish I had order a lot more.
I knew I liked burley, and Virginia, and latakia. I did not know what those three tobaccos could do when blended like this. Slightly sweet, a little nutty, and with touches of the latakia smokiness, this blend is incredibly well balanced for my palate. I could go on for quite some time, but SWMBO is already convinced I have gone well over the edge.
If you like burley, and latakia in moderation, you should definitely try this blend! |

| I'll do a proper review, but I'm afraid I'll have to smoke several more bowls for that |

| I have been wondering about this one for sometime now too. Look forward to a full report once you've had a chance to chew on it for a good while. |

| K,
I can tell you it is a really nice blend. I'm not sure my palate is sophisticated enough to give you a proper run down, but I'll take a run at it. I'm rapidly finding that I am well on my way to codger status, the burley's being at the top of my list.... |

| I enjoyed the sample that Rich sent me in a recent order. I will be ordering some the next time I place an order with 4Noggins. |

Sure, whatever insights you might have would be more than appreciated (if you feel like doing so, of course). I think there is something to be said for the transition to 'codgerdom' in relation to 'palate sophistication', and it is all good! |

No preassure there Pete! |

| I picked up some of this last week. It arrived yesterday and I smoked some in my Bigham Voyager.
Not being a reviewer, I can say at least that this tobacco is very fragrant. It has a wonderful pouch aroma...nutty and sweet with perhaps a touch of vanilla.
Moisture content seemed perfect. It lit easily but my poor packing and lighting techniques can ruin anything. It's very smooth, nutty and sweet with a wonderful aromatic like aroma. Nuts and vanilla. There is also a touch of smokiness in the finish. No tongue bite at all.
This could easily be an all day blend. I needed several relites because I suck at what I'm doing, but it didn't ruin the smoke.
Overall, I really liked it, but bear in mind this was only my first bowl. However, I don't see how this would change to where I don't care for it. |
