4noggins Bald Headed Teacher

I can't get enough of this stuff! The flavor is nutty and wonderful. This is a great all day smoke. Not too strong and not too intense with flavor.

Since I do not have a highly refined palate, it's hard to describe tastes and flavors that I experience. I only know what I like and do not like. So here's my rating scale and a brief reason for the rating.

★★★★ = Excellent - Apocalypse blend, cellar worthy.

★★★☆ = Good - Not part of regular roatation but keeping a few tins/ounces is wise.

★★☆☆ = Fair - A smokable blend that is worth trying again.

★☆☆☆ = Poor. - Do not smoke! Trade off or give away to the unsuspecting.

Because tastes and blends change over time and depending on what pipe is used, I reserve the right to change my rating at any time.

I will just parrot what the previous two reviewers said. It is a delightfully pleasant tobacco. This is my first purchase of the stuff and it is perfect. A little latakia plus a very nice flavor of tobacco. Will buy again.

Bald Headed Teacher is definitely in my top 3 tobaccos. Not overwhelming in any way, good flavor and aroma, satisfying nicotine content.

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.

i received this as a complement from Rich, in one of my orders.I had my share of english, balkans and orientals however, for the time being i am an avid aromatic smoker but truth to be said i enjoyed this blend thoroughly. it has the perfect proportions to make it a smooth smoke that wont knock you off your heel neither it make you sick like many bold blends ive tried before. rounded taste with burly nuttiness in the front and the seasonings added complemented the blend so well to call it an all day smoke. (is it a crowd pleaser? i dont think so).

A few months back I ordered a pipe from the good folks at 4Noggins and they sent me some of this. I put it on top of my dresser and forgot about it. This evening I came across it and decided to give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! This tobacco lit well and burned extremely well right down to the bottom of the bowl without a single re-light. It makes thick heavy plumes of smoke which I love. The burley and Virginias are of a very fine quality. The latakia comes through, but is very subtle. The first half of the bowl was quite sweet, then the sweetness gave way to nutty and leathery tastes. The sweetness returned toward the bottom of the bowl which was a nice surprise. This is a very cool and relaxing smoke with zero tongue bite. There's not a lot of nicotine which is fine with me. I will certainly smoke more of this.

I enjoy aromatics as well as burleys and this is a little of both. A very enjoyable indoor smoke, has a very nice room note and gets nothing but compliments from my non smoking friends and relatives. It packs well and hasn't needed many re-tampings during the smoke. Funny though, it smokes dry in my regular pipes but got pretty wet toward the bottom of a churchwarden.

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.

This particular blend came with a pipe I bought, When I opened the box I could smell the aroma of this blend which was strong and unusual to me having smoked PA and CH for awhile, I didnt touch it for a week, Then I loaded up the pipe and lit up, I got through the first bowl and It was very good, It had a sweet and tangy taste along with the burley and something else that had a strong aftertaste when I finished, I found out that was the small amount of latakia that is blended in, after the second bowl it was on then, This blend packs and lights well, smokes well and tastes great with no bite, I highly recommend this blend even to the beginner who would like to ease into the latakia road, In fact I would recommened it for the new pipe smoker.

Great blend. Very satisfying smoke that gets better the more you smoke as you discover the flavors. So subtle. Hard to describe without it sounding gross...I mean, how can you love a nutty flavor coupled with some sweetness & that fantastic (very very very sparingly used) lat? Still, I cannot recommend highly enough. Added bonus: non-smokers in my home comment on how good it smells!
