4noggins Tewksbury Hobbit's Weed Match
(2.55)
A full flavoured blend with fire-cured cavendish added for mellowing the robust burley. A mild cherry flavoring and a dash of vanilla is added for a semi-sweet, pleasant, slow burning smoke.

I was tipped off to this by a forum member at pipesmagazine the day it hit the site. Being a big fan of the original, I was curious and gave it a go. I took a bowl of the original and bowl of this in MM cobs and puffed them side by side. The 4-noggins blend is probably the closet to the original as it might get. I do feel like many of Tewksbury's blends carried a consistency in flavor but I'd be damned to know the difference if you switched them up on me. 4noggins HWM has the same wonderful burst of flavor and just the tiniest amount of sharpness I love in the original. I hope to see the Tewksbury folks back in the game soon but till then I am buying this! great job guys.

Flavor was consistent throughout the bowl. Sipped slowly so as not to bite. No real highs or lows. Strength is very mild. Decent smoke. Probably wouldn’t buy again. Received compliments on the smell. Enough said.

I can’t compare or say if this is better or worse than the original because I never had the chance to try it. That being said, this is a very pleasant tobacco. Not very artificial tasting and very light on the cherry. Vanilla is nice and creamy in this one as well. Room note is amazing as well and received thumbs up from the wife and daughter.

Well ole Frodo may smoke this blend and like it but it's not a big fav of mine. Again another aromatic that is mild and weak in taste. Smells nice upon opening with a nice hint of cherry. Burns OK for an aromatic and does not seem to smoke too hot. The cherry flavor is slight and comes and goes. I am not a big cherry blend lover but this is pretty good blend as tobacco flavor goes. If your looking for a cherry flavored smoke this may not suit your taste buds but as a simple nice tobacco flavored smoke this is a keeper.

Right of the bat, this is a mild aromatic imo. Not in a bad way but if you want something that completely Över takes you with flavor there is other blends that would be better for you. There is definitely vanilla in this. It drives the buss imo. Then we get the Cherry. It’s there and the two makes a great couple. It’s consistent thru the entire bowl even if it gets a little bit boring two thirds down. It’s a nice round aromatic that I believe most would appreciate.

Hobbit's Weed match is a chunky ribbon blend, that arrives slightly wet in the pouch. The pouch aroma reminds me of the Skoal Long Cut Cherry blend I used to chew in high school, with a vanilla undertone. While is does smell artificial, it doesn't smell chemical. if that even makes sense.
This is a bit sticky on arrival. I prefer a light pack and tamp a little firmer as the smoke progresses, as this does swell a bit during the charring light. The topping on this reminds me a lot of the old McClelland Blend, M-27 Three Cherry.
The Cherry stands out the most in this, with a slight vanilla softness. The tobacco seems to be of good quality, as there is no roughness, no tongue bite, and it doesn't become acrid nor ashy even at the bottom of the bowl. The aftertaste is short lived, but pleasant. The room note is superb. This has been a favorite before bed blend for me, as it's not too heavy or strong on nicotine. All in all, a solid 3.5 stars for this great aromatic from 4 Noggins!

Another nice 4noggins blend. I didnt like this at first, but perhaps my love for the halfling's leaf has clouded my mind, for it has grown on me. The cherry is somewhat artificial tasting, but nowhere near the point of cough medicine. The vanilla is mild and works well to liven and enrich the cherry. Not many tobacco notes to discern except the fire cured cavendish adds an element of depth reminiscent of the fire cured used in 1Q. It burns alright. Has a bit of a nip if smoked fast. I like it; I find it bright and refreshing on the palate. A nice change of pace for the tastebuds. A good one to have an oz or two sitting around should the mood arise. It seems a lot of pipe smokers are Tolkien fans, so I doubt my recommendation is necessary for those interested in trying this one, nevertheless. If you don't like cherry aromatics, then I don't know what you're doing this far into this review. If you do like cherry aros, then sit-back on the field of victory and enjoy a well earned comfort. 3 stars. Recommend.

I am looking for a berry flavored aromatic to add to my rotation so have been trying different blends that have been recommended. I enjoyed this blend but the flavoring was a bit heavy for my taste.

I won't and can't say if it matches the original. I never experienced the original tobacco, so this is only my thoughts on this blend.
Pleasant smell out of the bag. No chemical smell. A definite cherry vanilla smell though. Sweet cherry taste right up front with a mild vanilla flavor in the back. I loved the mix. No nicotine hit at all. A smooth cool smoke with 1 or 2 relights.
Just like a hobbit. Pleasant demeanor with no harshness. Great for gatherings due due to the pleasing room note. A happy little blend for company. Especially before an arduous trip.
Bilbo, Samwise, Merry and Pippin approved. Frodo is on the fence.
