| I come back to this blend every once in a while. What the previous poster said is true. This blend has a light apple and vanilla taste to it. Very flavorful if your looking for a light aromatic with good tobacco taste to it. Burns well.

| Reading the discription and the reviews I ordered this to taste different tobaccos with this being a rich virginia blend. I believe it holds up to the name and the description fairly well. I found the flavor smooth and mellow with a fuller tobacco taste and less casing flavor. The apple and vanilla were there but very mild and more vanilla than apple at that. It's not as sweet as other Boswell blends and you can taste mostly the virginias, and notice the nicotine. It's a mild flavored yet bold smoke. Burns a bit warmer than others I think, but no real bite, and it's a dry smoke. This one would be a nice change of pace when in the mood for a mellow smoke or someone like myself looking to get to know the other tobaccos and flavors. I won't knock it, since it holds to the description...it never promised to taste like warm apple pie. But there is a slight taste of apple vanilla and a nutty/spice taste. It might be too light for the aromatic lover (a bit more flavoring wouldn't hurt), but perfect to try out or for someone looking for more tobacco flavor. I like it for what it is. The more I smoke it the more I notice the flavors. But I'm noticing it's one I have to go easy on. I'll smoke it from time to time but I don't know if I'll miss if when It's gone, it seems to be fading from my rotation. For me it was nothing special, not bad at all but not something I'll have to keep on hand. P.S. I'm sure it's not a big deal, but this one is actually called Apple Strudel for those maybe wanting to try it.
*This is one of the few blends that I've noticed a little time made better. I know some swear that time makes all aromatics better but I don't agree. Yes, some need a little drying out, but with that a lot of the flavor and aroma goes with it. This one actually became richer tasting. It's really a go to smoke in the morning with a cup of coffee. That's the only time I really enjoy it and the only time I smoke it.

| Also called "Apple Strudel". This particular blend was a scorcher for me. No matter how slowly I smoked it or let it dry out, it was pretty stubborn in allowing a nice, cool smoke. Tried it in both a briar and a cob. Same result. Another disappointing factor: where's the apple? I was looking forward to the name pretty much summing up the flavor (like their Berry Cobbler), but I got a small hint of apple every now and then. There was a nice vanilla overtone, but I was expecting more.
The flavor and room note is nice, but it wasn't worth burning my tongue to get it.

| This was a let down. It had the right moisture to just pack and smoke. It burned a little hot and bit some. The apple and vanilla were barely detectable in flavor or room note. This really wasn't anyhting special.It required 2 or 3 relights. I'll let this sit around for 6 months or so and try it again. Maybe time will fix what's broken.

| Not as sweet as most of Boswells Blends. A good quality Virgina leaf with dark tobacco spects topped with a very very slight Apple Vanila topping. packs very easy stays lit with one match. Leaves a clean white ash. A must for the Virgina smoker. A good mild all day smoke with a slight change of pace. THis is a good belnd for spring and summer. As with all Boswell blends. They are made fresh day of order. It would be highly recomended to let these blends sit in your humidor drawer for a few weeeks. I recently pulled ot a bag that I tucked away back in Demcember. And today it is an outstanding blend. A suttle aramoatic with a good Virgina leaf. No bite stays lit easily and is even better after sitting in your pocket and relighting. This blend is sure to please all.
