4noggins Bald Headed Teacher
(3.37)
The old-fashioned burley taste comes through in full form, nutty and brisk, hitting on tangy notes along the way as the Virginia components catch on. There's just enough Latakia to provide no more than perhaps a seasoning effect.

I really cannot say enough good things about this blend, especially in light of the fact that I am not the world's biggest burley fan. BHT is what I call an aromatic-english and it falls on the light side of that scale. It is a flavorful, structured english-style smoke with just a hint of sweetness that gives it a certain roundness, rather than the usual sharpness I find in burley blends. To my taste the sweetness is just that, not necessarily a flavor, but rather the sweetness you would find in a good sweet tea. Sweet, but not cloying or syrupy. I think that this blend would appeal to both english and aromatic lovers with something to satisfy both enough to keep them coming back.

I picked up 2oz of this tobacco because of the name. I am a somewhat balding eductator. I am glad I did. It smells great in the bag. It is easy to pack and stays lit. I love the creamy smoke this produces. I am a bit of a puffer and it hasn't bit me yet. The taste is mildly sweet with a bit of vanilla but nothing overpowering. I have smoked several bowls in a row doing things around the house and never felt a nicotine. This is a nice easy smoke to enjoy anytime of the day or all day. It might make a nice crossover for someone looking to try an aromatic to a less flavered tobacco or vice versa.
ENJOY!
ENJOY!

This is one of my favorites. Definitely a good all day smoke. Not too heavy and very interesting. Slightly sweet, but not too sweet like an aromatic. It's a natural sweetness, almost fruity, but still very much a natural tobacco taste. A nice amount of latakia, but not enough to satisfy a real latakia lover. Should definitely be tried.

Somewhere along life's way you will dream about a walnut tobacco that is soft but tasty, burns evenly without scorching the tongue,and garners compliments which don't include words like cherry or apple. Real tobacco with a smoothness and natural flavor that aromatic and non-aromatic smokers alike can enjoy. This is it.

The description says it spot on. I can't add anything to the positive reviews listed below me here but wholehearted agreement. It passed the wife test with flying colors (which is always a good thing). The taste is excellent, so I can do nothing but highly recommend this fine blend from 4noggins.com's Rich Gottlieb. I plan on buying much more of this fine weed.

Just received my second pound of BHT from Rich. I first tried this when he sent me a small sample with another order a few months back.
Fantastic. The Latakia tastes sweet, not as it usually does. The burley tastes like burley, and the Virginias hide somewhere, but must contribute in some way, probably by toning down the Latakia. The funny thing is that you can taste all three separately and all three together.
All in all, a great blend that I suppose one could call "American" or "Americanised English", though I am not sure exactly where BHT or Harvest Moon, for that matter, fits. I think one could call it an aromatic non-aromatic, if that makes any sense. 4Noggins is doing a great job with these hybrid blends, and BHT would be my all day first choice smoke were it not that I want to save it for special occasions.
It sometimes has sticks in it, but they burn just as well as the leaves. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a change of pace from straight English or Balkans, and to anyone wanting something with a mild sweetness but without a fruity or vanilla taste.

This creation is genius.It's different from any other tobacco and talented blender Mr.Gottlieb should be tributed for with standing ovation. It pack well,it stay light,no special attentions required here. It can be smoked every time,everywhere; I get only compliments about BHT (apart from anti-smoke oriented persons;why,oh why they look at me like a poisoner?). Possibly,the most interesting aromatic around right now, for every tipology of piper. Thank you so match Mr.Gottlieb!

Absolutely delightful and unique Burley blend. The Latakia content is more than "just enough to provide...". In fact, it's very noticeable behind the Burley, but they're so well balanced that I wouldn't change one strand.
The flavoring is subtle and delicious, and this mixture has entered my Burley rotation along with Stonehaven and Aged Burley Flake. Totally different, but just as enjoyable.

Rich sent me a little sample as I purchased some Walnut which I love. This blows Walnut away. Absolutely wonderful. Can't say enough about this. Not sure what all it has in it, but there is definitely some nice stuff, so I'll go with what SMOKETSES says below. Anyway, it really combines into a wonderful thing. Just brilliant.

After the first order, questions arose. After the second order, I was sure: This is a great tobacco. Burley in its best form, sweet red Virginia, smoked black Cavendish, all together with a small but perfectly balanced dose of Latakia, which gives that special taste without being too much. Dry, tasty tobacco, without any tongue bite of course. Nice natural aroma and a gentle room note. It has already climbed very high in my tobacco chart
BUT IT ALSO BECAME MY TOP ALL DAY TOBACCO.
