4noggins Harvest Moon
(3.44)
Cubed Cut Burley, the right dose of Latakia and stoved Red Virginia for sweetness, combine to bring you this superbly well crafted blend that lights easily and burns to a clean white ash. A wonderful all day smoke.

This is a nice gentle smoke, mild in many ways without being at all weak. The burley and virginia work nicely together for a smooth, naturally-sweet smoke, and the latakia, while always present, is a solid background member of the trio. Unless you dislike even a hint of latakia or demand it in quantity, this is a solid 'give it try' fairly-slow-burning mixture. Since I know there are many tobaccos out there I would rate a 4, the question arises would I rebuy this particular tobacco, assuming my tastes don't change much more. In this case, the answer is probably not.

The first time I smoked this I had 3 bowls in a row. I really enjoyed it. Still do. I think I'll have some more today.

I have yet to find a bad blend from 4Noggins. They all strike me as what pipe tobacco is supposed to be. Easy going. Light and burn well. Taste wonderful. No fuss no muss. Jsut soem good pipe smokin'.
This is Bald Headed Teacher's cousin with hair and a newer suit. Bolder. More latakia. Not the hint of aromatic in the back ground like BHT.
To me anyone who smokes a pipe will like this blend and I cant imagine anyone really hating it. The high tone English Connoisseurs can happily smoke this stuff when they go fishing and want to fell all in touch with the common man. And the drug store burley crowd will find this a nice way to add some spice to their lives when PA is starting to become mundane.
Plus Neil Young? That's one rockin' old man.
getcha some.

This blend is perfectly balanced in its tobaccos. It burns very well, delicate flavor, the percentage of Latakia brings his unique taste in the blend. Personally with this type of blend I almost shut down the pipe several times, smoke draw with very slow and almost imperceptible smoke to appreciate its features. Loading pipe tobacco with very little pressure. In the final part of the smoke leaves your mouth slightly doughy. I am not so convinced that a tobacco throughout the day. Recommended for experienced smokers, not beginners!

This tobacco is a bit too sweet for me, tends to burn a bit wet, and a bit hot. I always end up with tongue bite. The cube cut burley seems to hold a lot of humidity, and even with drying it out a lot, I still find it generates a lot of dottle and moisture.
I like the flavor profile, and generally like what the blender is trying to do here, but the tobacco won't behave in the pipe for me.

Nothing to dislike here and the smoke is cool to the mouth. Latakia is present equally from the start to the finish and in a degree that is just right for a pleasurable smoke regardless the season or time of day. What more could one ask?
Never one that enjoys suffering for my pleasure, I find that this blend is simply...nice and well worth the price and the tamp.

I feel that this is Rich's best blend. I really like flakes, but this is the blend that I go too when not smoking flakes. Also Rich is a great person to deal with.

I just got my first pound of Harvest Moon from Rich over in Vermont. An outstanding burley blend, with enough virginia to give it a little bounce.
I don't know why, but I can't seem to handle Virginia blends. They all tend to bite. But the Virginias in this one are biteless. The Latakia is there, but not so predominant as in Balkan and English blends.
I reckon Harvest Moon as similar to Morley's Best, but that may just be me. You can see the burley in big chunks, and taste it right the way through. No bitterness, as this one burns smooth all the way to the end.
Like all the 4Noggins blends I have tried so far, this one is a winner. In fact, ordering from Rich is now a seriously challenging process as I can never make up my mind which of them I want more of.
If you are partial to burley, but like Latakia and want both in one blend, look no further. A fantastic smooth smoke with enough N punch to satisfy.
