On to the tobacco itself. I don't think it would be too fair to rate this low as I didn't have the opportunity to smoke enough to form a proper opinion and since it didn't cost me anything, that would just be in poor form. So this opinion may not be too helpful.

I did find the blend to have a bit of a topping as there was sweetness from something and it was not a virginia sweetness, rather a vanilla type sweetness, perhaps the burleys are cavendish processed. Because that was my immediate thoughts. I don't typically like too much sweet with a lat blend, but didn't mind this one too much.

I feel this falls in the american english or scottish genre. There are others that I, no doubt, prefer over this blend, but I did enjoy it, particularly in my Meer.

I've ready several reviews that call this an aromatic, but I can detect no casing. Not particularly sweet either, just good burly flavor with a touch of Va and a bit of Latakia.

A great smoke pretty much any time of day, hard to go wrong with Bald Headed Teacher.

Ok I plugged in my review then read what some others said about it and I'm confused...apparently this is an aromatic but to me it's not what I think of...generally I think of aromatics as being sweet but this is to me like an English blend so I will have to revisit because some reviews mention chocolate! seems like a completely different thing to what I smoked. Anyway worth a try.

So I checked out this here site for reviews of 4noggins own blends. Y’all seem to love this stuff, and I understand why they inspire loyalty; friendly, quick, and competitively priced. BHT seemed to have a whole lot of four star reviews.

This is my first impression --- I let some air dry, not that it came real damp or anything, I just like things drier. I tried in a pipe I rarely use for first taste, a big old Willmer volcano, When I’m feeling snobbish or pretentious I like to take first tastes in a meerschaum or something tighter and more neutral, sort of like those fancy folks spitting out wine at the vineyard.

This blend is the closest I’ve smoked to an aromatic in a while, though I don’t think it has a casing or if it does it’s a, well, tobacco flavored casing. It’s just really sweet and nutty, must be the burly they use. I was surprised to find myself liking it, liking it a lot. I barely noticed that the bowl made it all the way through Wyatt Earp with maybe two relights, no heat, and most importantly without getting boring.

It’s a little too sweet to be an everyday smoke for me, but it’s not something I’ll find under the desk in a year and throw out either. I’m impressed with the blending skill, innovation and service at 4noggins. They also threw in a sample of button bay which smells a little too sweet too, but I’m willing to try anything from those guys. I’m giving it three stars cause I like these guys. Oh, and I’m on pain killers. Not that it doesn’t deserve at least three stars, just that it’s not my regular cup of tea.

Nutty flavor without the soapy taste I get with other burley blends. The latakia is there for sure and I notice it more than perhaps many of the other reviewers.

Very enjoyable after dinner smoke.
