Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Chocolate Cream

A bit of nostalgia hits me smoking a bowl of Boswell's Chocolate Cream. I'm reminded of childhood cereals like Cocoa Pebbles, Count Chocula and Cocoa Puffs. F'n amazing!

I may never eat a chocolate bar again. A bowl of Chocolate Cream is equally as satisfying. It's very mild so you can smoke this stuff all day everyday. Burns nice and finished with a soft white ash.

puff puff keeping this one around.

I am mostly an aromatic smoker only.

If chocolate is what youre looking for, this is the one! Upon opening the parcel package, you can immediately smell the chocolate aroma. The chocolate aroma is very strong.

I let this dry out for about 10-20min and packed my pipe. I recently started to "over dry" my aromatics to the point where it's almost crisp, I find I get less moisture and more flavor. BUT I have to be careful not to smoke too fast. That said;

I really like this blend. It was one of my first blends from Boswell and is a regular burn in the pipe.

The flavor was full of chocolate!!! It's almost like eating a piece of chocolate. The flavor lasted about 1/2 to 3/5 of the bowl, then turned to a less pronounced chocolate flavor, and more smokey, like the end of a cigar.

This blend is definitely my favourite of all/most of the Boswell aromatics. And will be ordering much much more.

The smell of this in the bag was the yummiest of all tobaccos I've smelled. I'm very new to pipe smoking, and I have tried blends other than aromatics and aromatics, and enjoyed them. But I really didn't get any taste smoking this in a brand new corncob pipe. I had smoked Dunhill Early Morning Pipe in the morning for the first time and loved the flavour of that and the taste left with me afterward, and was excited to try this new boswell blend later in the afternoon. Again, the smell and the room note was pleasant, but I couldn't really detect any good flavours. I see it is super popular so I will definitely give it another go. I absolutely loved No Bite Delight the other night though! That was is definitely a favourite (hopefully it wasn't just that night!)

But again, Boswell Chocolate Cream - mildly sweet smoke and room note, slightly bitter in the mouth near the end of the bowl.

-- UPDATE -- smoked in a boswell pipe with some coffee and lower expectations, and I am enjoying it so much more a month later. Sipping helps to prevent it going bitter. I get a little more chocolate this time, but still looking for a real chocolatey tobacco for a treat. But I am liking this - upping the stars up one!

The scent from the bag hits you in the face. Extremely strong smell that is reminiscent of chocolate milk to me. The smell has emparted itself into my tobacco pouch and is still there several weeks later even though I've had other tobacco's in there. So the scent from the bag is a little much for me however, the tobacco itself is fantastic. It's a great smoke, pretty flavourful and smells amazing while being smoked. It burns cool, and is a great aromatic. If you like the sweet/dessert flavoured aromatics, this is definitely one to try, and at about 3 bucks an ounce, you can't go wrong.

Love this blend. It has a very nostalgic aromatic room note. As soon as I took a whiff memories of my old pipe smoker grandfather and uncle came pouring in. They must have been smoking something with a chocolate casing I guess. Very very pleasing room note, best out of all tobaccos I have ever tried. Very easy smoke with no bite detected, and I was puffing fast just to get more smoke to smell.

I must say I can actually taste dark chocolate when sipped slow to medium. Usually with aromatics you can only smell the casing but with Chocolate Cream you can taste chocolate, which makes this blend a perfect after dinner smoke.

Smoked it the day I got it on the mail. Filled the pipe and let it sit there for 15 minutes. Lights and stays lit to mid bowl, then one relight.

Why is it that some big tobacco companies spend millions and put out crap tobacco, but some mom and pop stores can whip up AMAZING blends?

All you (us) beginners try this blend, you will get hooked. I did. Will be ordering a pound of this before tobacco taxes go up.

This tobacco is pretty good, though it is lacking in rich chocolate flavor. Flavoring was very mild compared to other Boswell aromatics I have tried. It was a little disappointing because I very much enjoy chocolate and was expecting a sweeter smoke.

Aromatic fans, rejoice! This is as fine an aromatic as I have ever had the pleasure to smoke. Truly a tobacco taste... yet, with Chocolate (deep and dark) essence that I found to be absolutely delicious.

You don't like aromatics? I think you just might like this one.

I had a relatively small sample of this that I just recently completed. It was sent to me by a forum friend. To start with, I have discovered that I am not a fan of smoking chocolate as none of the chocolate blends I have tried have struck my fancy. This was no different; however, I found the topping to be light. This was actually good for me, since l like my aros lightly topped.

The unfortunate thing for me is that I know little about how this was stored or how old it was. I am not sure whether a light topping was intentional or the effect of storage in a bag or some other container that would cause a topping to flash sooner rather than later.

On to smoking it. There is a chocolate flavor to it and maybe a slightly floral taste as well. It seemed that the chocolate was not the sole flavoring at work. When I got in the last third I started to pick up some good burley flavor. I never had that feeling of smoking hot air while smoking this one.

Based on the unknown provenance behind what was sent to me and the performance of the smoke, I am giving this one three stars, but personally would rate it at two as chocolate is just not my thing in pipe tobacco.

I enjoy everything from ropes and plugs to English blends and VaPers as good tobacco is good tobacco. This my friends is good tobacco, which is no surprise as Boswell's makes some great aromatics. Chocolate Cream is made from good quality base tobaccos and the Chocolate comes through in the smoke very nicely. There is no goop at the bottom of the bowl either. Highly recommended for chocolate loving aromatic fans or if you need to satisfy a sweet tooth as this is a sweet one to say the least!

Boswell tobacco never seems to disappoint. I enjoy almost all their blends, this one also. It has a strong sweet chocolate scent that you can smell a room away. The tobacco smokes a little on the dry side taste wise, but you know its chocolate nonetheless. This could be your all day smoke since it had no bite for me, even when I tried to smoke it like I was drinking a chocolate milkshake. I was very pleased by this blend all around and have it in my regular rotation.
