4noggins Nutty Professor
(3.14)
Stoved Virginias and Burley provide a nut-like and slightly sweet aroma. A touch of Cyprian Latakia, St. James Parish Perique and Turkish tobacco is then added to set it apart from all other blends.

4noggins - Nutty Professor.
The mixture contains some fairly coarse pieces, and is perfectly hydrated. There's a larger amount of brown, than black pieces.
The Burley leads the experience, with the Perique giving a dark-fruitiness. The Latakia gives some depth by adding a woodiness, but no smoky flavour. The Turkish brings a creamy character, smoothing out any ruggedness from the Burley. I find the Virginia last in line, easily. I'm unsure about exactly what the topping is, there's a notable sweetness, but I can't name it. It burns very even, steady, and cool.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: pleasant.
Nutty Professor? A definite three star blend:
Recommended.

Mostly a Burley/Va blend. There's a smidge of Latakia. I can't taste Perique or other Orientals in the mix, which isn't to say it isn't there. I daresay I'd notice if it weren't there.
I wouldn't call this an English of any kind. Not even an American English.
To my mind this is more akin to a traditional American codger blend with better quality leaf, a touch of seasoning by way of some Lat and Perique and a dressing of something sweet which might or might not be from stoved Va. I'm taking all of that at face value.
It's a very nice blend. It has plenty of flavour and has a nice mouthfeel. Requires a little more re-lights than I am used to.
Not sure why this is listed as no longer in production. My batch was bought from 4 Noggins this year.

Nice blend. Has a lot going on in the taste department. First off tin note is wonderful. Rich nutty smoky smell. Lights very nice and burns slowly and cool. I get a slight nutty smoky taste similar to tin note but not as strong. There is a spicy peppery kick which I am not a fan of but it is there on and off throughout the smoke. Room note is primarily wood smoke smell. This is a decent blend that remains on the milder side of nutty blends I have smoked.

I've had a package from 4noggins, and this stuff was in it as a sampler. I'm smoking it right now in a cob, and it's not bad. Still early to tell anything, So far so good. This stuff has Latakia in it, Perique is present for sure, reminds me of some vapers, not a classic english for sure. I'm half way through the bowl and it's getting better and better. Nice surprise from 4noggins.
