4noggins Down by The River
(2.90)
A great Burley blend that is a slightly sweet, mostly nutty smoke that does not require full attention in order to enjoy it. Good day or night, it won't foul up your pipe or burn wet, and never exhibits the Burley end of bowl ashy taste.

A high quality burley from 4noggins. From the charring light down to mid point of the bowl you get the nutty taste burleys are known for. About mid point I started to pickup hints of chocolate here and there till the end. It did burn a little hot and after noticing the burn I adjusted my cadence and the smoke remained cool.
I'm a believer that your mouth PH is a major contributing factor if a tobacco will bite and I did not experience any bite at all.

I really like this Va/Bur blend. I agree with CountryDoc's comment, "Definitely more an aromatic than a straight burley." For me, after a time, its sweetness can get old. But there is some kind of delightful spice to it- not latakia- that adds to its complexity and keeps it interesting. If you like Va/Bur blends on the sweeter side, this one is at least worth exploring.

What can i say that has not been said before . A great all day smoke that in my opinion is best smoked in a MM Corn Cob. I just wish it was available here in australia.

Once again, the tin description from Rich is pretty accurate. For me this is not a "knock your socks off" blend but there is plenty to like about it if you like Burley. (which I do) It packs easily and burns well all the way down. Nice semi sweet nutty taste with the merest hint of some flavouring in the background. A good one for working in the garden or walking the dog and is a worthy alternative to the standard OTC Burleys. Recommended.

Supplied in bulk from Rich at 4noggins, this pleasant burley blend is sure to satisfy your palate. The description of this blend is accurate enough and I have not much to add to it. You'll not be disappointed.
