4noggins Three Blind Moose

I tried this blend on the recommendation of a friend, and I am quite pleased by the taste of caramel in this nice aromatic. While not a constant aromatic smoker, I intend on keeping a supply of this for a change of pace. Recommended.

A nice break from my usual diet of Balkans and other Latakia heavy stuff. Got this as a bonus on my latest order to 4noggins and as with every blend I have tried from Rich it is Quality Tobacco masterly blended. It has some 'aromatic' qualities without being an aromatic as the Burley is kept in control by the sweet Cavendish. A really good taste, without being cloying or too earthy as I sometimes find Burleys. Recommended!

full mouth feel overtones of toffee and caramel. sample i expereinced was a little moist and i found letting it breathe made for a better after dineer cooler experience. This blend is good for neighbors since it is pleasant without having the lingering who was smoking a pipe queries. i would recommend this as a afternoon early evening smoke it is not robust enough to carry an after dinner satisfaction but is a pleasant burn

Very good smoke. Smells great. Tastes great. Nuts, vanilla, cream, honey. The burley is quite good, nutty and oaky with a touch of spice. Cavendish is sweet and subtle. The topping is mild and doesn't mask the tobaccos, though I get some acidity on the tongue that slowly mellows. All in all a light vanilla burley blend that tastes great. Highly recommend. Also, love the name.

The caramel/toffee/ note on this is just a little more than I prefer. It tends to overwhelm. Sort of reminds me of a bad homebrew. The base blend is rather nice however. It burns nice and cool; packs easily.

I'm hoping that letting this one sit for awhile in storage, the caramel will be more subdued. Update: I find that is I blend this with leftovers from previous bowls....The remnants that do not go back in the tin or pouch, this is more enjoyable for me. The caramel/toffee is toned down by doing this. Still just a 3 star blend for me, but I have found a way to enjoy it more.

This is for me, a "linear" Tobacco, "flat", no flavour, no smell, similar to a very common cigarrete tobacco... I have in mind that it may be good for the neophites in the pipe, that wants an easy to smoke tobacco, that rassembles cigarrete tobaccos. Problably,Burley is the main component. I attribute 2 or 3 stars for this, since it have no high flavour, but is a good quality no flavour tobacco.

This one smells delicious.Like a butter caramel with sugar on top. Ok the first puffs are great but later on the butter taste disappears and the caramel gets...torched! Oh well, at least the room note remains pleasant..!

Great tobacco. Love that caramel in the background. I don't know why but this one reminds me of the outdoors during Christmas time

From the good folks of 4Noggins comes a towering hooved spectacle of original aromatic magnificence, the infamous Three Blind Moose. This popular light-hearted, mildly intense full antlered taster features a sprucely prepared bulk assortment of standard Burley and the cooperative influence of fairish Black Cavendish tobaccos. Lumbering aimlessly in triple rousing fun, these eyeballs challenged, rubber-nosed swamp donkeys bellow a distinctive calling of fashionable sugary coatings, that supplies a bouncy rendition of sweet-minded pipe smoking pleasantry.

Fluffing their furry hides, visually one gathers an inset image of healthy-hearted ribbon cut White and rougher chiseled Dark Burley tobaccos on the main. Prudently tufting this generous bed of awesome Burley, a loose stinting of patchy blackened Cavendish chunks mottles the loaded piling. Fundamentally the exceptionally thinly sliced White varietal displays an almost translucent gold natured hue as the Dark leaf complements this scratchy palette with a more densely formed thickening of chocolatey favored browns. Rustic, unbridled, and of toothsome complexion, Three Blind Moose pouched visage captures a fitting suggestion for the humor of the raw wilds that truly define the racked beasts’ indigenous homeland.

With a nose spotted to these mega-deer’s pouched wonder, a delectable air of sweetened confectionary delight forces the obliging introduction. Mainly, the sugary combination of conspiring additives scrambles cohesively with right-minded inviting goodness. What seems to register most prominently is the amalgamated essence of rich succulent caramel, classic garnishing vanilla, and an exclusive movement of honest butterscotch. Seeking a deeper perspective into its persona, additional layering reveals a passive cocoa-sugar swirling over the enriching scent of luscious Burley wood and earthly nuttiness. And superbly colorizing the bottom registerable notation, just a hint of latent sourness escapes stealthily. Overall, Three Blind Moose carries an exceptionally enchanting fragrance that transfers through to the experienced tasting as I was to discover.

Upon striking the inaugural flame, I soon encountered this trio of groping Bullwinkles plodding forward with a resounding acclamation of bundled sugary blissfulness that effectually enraptured and charmed my palate. Tastefully mingled for rounded aromatic delight, a posh medley of creamy vanilla and buttery toasty caramel delectably moved to the front edge, shrouding itself with the considerate accentuating of proper, nourishing butterscotch splendor. In general, the selective mingling of these perfecting sugar-based dressings achieved a true belly-warming goodness that is akin to one of those candied homemade delights from the likes of Fanny May. Beyond the immediate registration, let me clearly profess that witnessing this happy flavored combination within the subject retro hale was all but exquisite in effect. And I do mean practically yummy!

Further refined embellishments assumed an aura of a darker bodied molasses/karo gingerly seasoned with some brown sugared cinnamon exuberance. In order of magnitude, nonetheless, the top-coating’s intensity and character were well metered and not too disproportionate given their eased savor. What is more, these dressings were worthily fitted with an amiable willingness to give equitable space for the comprising native strains within the tempting profile.

On that specific note, Three Blind Moose featured a harmonized devotion to solid Burley reverence. The chumminess of the White and Dark leaf worked in tandem importance rendering a full “Burley-licious” experience. For its standard calling, the White strain engendered a sweet walnut notation that was exceptionally roasty and smartly developed. Yet I will say the Dark varietal tended to be slightly more showcased in perceived grandeur, at least that is how I recorded its contribution.

Specific to the Dark’s standards, this further processed component injected a native earthiness and a nice staunch ruddy wood undertone on the baseline of the flavor, bordering on cigar-like quality. This deep notation, overall, was highlighted with some seasoned herbal zest that crossed the imagery of aged pine needles and wisps of docile minty sage. Additionally, there was a bit of tasty clove piquancy, a tad of nice, relaxed sourness, and mild cocoa accenting as typical to the class. And as to the presence of the Black Cavendish, yeah not much influence to speak of, only perhaps adding a little soiled char and smoky complementing at best.

As suggested, there was a courteous equilibrium between the coatings and the native strains with Three Blind Moose scoring even par on the experienced “not too goopy” taste ranking. However, about the last third of the bowl the coatings dulled to a gentle abiding sweetness in fact, and the amplified flooding of tasty native Burley moved decidedly forward. In this transition, I duly noted that the alluring woody-nuttiness really popped more significantly as well as an advancing head of dashing earthen spice. As a bonus, a trace of previously undisclosed thinner anise notes skillfully surfaced for swelled amusing attraction.

You know if I were to be a more imaginative person, I would set my task to processing Three Blind Moose’s expended room essence into one of those essential oils that I could overfill my aromatic wax burner with egregious ardor. Namely, these tobaccos feature a production of massive clouds of thick gainful smoke with an obliging aroma that is undeniably pleasant and exceptionally ingratiating to the excitable senses.

Chiefly, not only does the blend exhibit that wonderful classic “pipey” Burley soured fragrance that is so very much enriching, the residual sweetening influence of the candied ghosts of the assorted coatings just solidifies its impressive excellence. Categorically a deep spicy and earthy bottomed Burley pulls in the trifecta of comforting vanilla-caramel/butterscotch with tracings of dark sugary overtones. Perfume like at least to the common piper? Yes, I do believe so.

I should disclose that although this tobacco models reasonably admirable mechanical performance in relation to burn temperance and achieved textural smoothness, it did come just a tad bit moist. As such, it is best to let this blend endure a bit of modest airtime to properly distill prior to smoking. In doing so, I discovered that the burn chartered along more consistently controlled, while this action also allowed for the true character of Three Blind Moose’s enchanting flavor to acquire an all-embracing fastened resonance overall.

Posing no chomping animalistic mastication of an endangered palate, the mixture importantly provides for a flowing and relaxing venture in quality smoking recreation. Despite the experienced smidgeon of medium dosage nicotine, this tobacco is clearly a companion aptly designed for true day-long gratification. Equally receptive to a choice of briar or a shamelessly simple cob, as I discovered, Three Blind Moose quite commendably affords a personalized herding of sporting, well-crafted aromatic excess. 3.4 Pipes
