If you don't like aromatics, pass on by. If you do, then you are in for a treat. This is the blend that moved my pipe smoking from outdoors to indoors. I was headed out to walk the dog and my trusty straight briar and my wife said "if thats the raspberry, you can smoke in here when you get back." That alone should tell you everything you need to know. Although most of us like to rotate tobaccos, this is definitely a keeper that i intend to cellar ever other order i place. Great for after dinner when its snowy outside and you have a good book. One note, if you push this tobacco hard in a bent.. you're going to get a bit of heat. Straight stemmed pipes and long gentle pulls are the way to go with this blend.

This blend has gotten a lot of props and it is all well deserved. I enjoy both English blends and aromatics, and this is my very favorite aromatic. The taste is so smooth and mild and has truly a great natural raspberry taste.

Me and my wife both agreed that this tobacco smelled like a raspberry fruit bar. The smell is very dead on. Once lit a nice vanilla smell came through as the "cream" in the name suggests. Just like berry cobbler, this tobacco was not grossly sweet and was very subtle yet very tasty. A nice change of pace for you hardcore english smokers who want a lighter sweet smoke every once in a while.

I really like this blend. I have found that the flavor seems to linger on your taste buds for a while after you finished smoking it, and it is a clean distinguishable raspberry taste that is very pleasant. I would definately say this blend does not bite but maybe you could say it nibbles at the tongue a little if smoked fast. Once lit it burns well, not goopy but a little wet. It seemed a little better when dried for a little while. Boswell blends are my favorite and this would be my No. 3 Boswell blend following my No. 2 Berry Cobbler and my No. 1 Christmas Cookie. Beautiful dark and rich color. Great stuff!

I have to say I love the Boswells. They are so great to do business with. That adds as much as anything to the enjoyment of their products. With that said... This is some wonderful stuff!! Give it, and them, a try.

I just have to say that the folks at Boswell's have got it right. This is the third review for me on Boswell's blends and I gotta say they are the best tobacco's I have been able to find so far. Now I am in no way saying I have tried them all.. far from it, but if you like aromatics and have been getting bit by the tasteless number of them out there, you owe it to your self to give the Boswell's a try. This blend really has a rasberry flavor to it. Nice and sweet, mild, no tongue bite at all, and it smells wonderfull. Tastes just like it smells.....really it does!! Not just sweet air like many others, but a real rasberry taste. I will keep it around for after dinner....perfect desert tobacco.

I really can't add any thing to what already has been said about this excellent blend. I think it's great and certainly one of the best aromatics out there. Four stars and another winner from the Boswell line. The room note, well it actually attracts people to it, wondering what that wonderful aroma is!

Wow! This gives a whole new meaning to getting a raspberry! I was gifted a sample of this blend and it smelled so wonderful in the pouch and I had a sweet tooth going so thought I would give it a try. The pouch aroma is almost like raspberry jam. It is a dark mix of brown to mostly dark brown ribbon cut tobaccos and it was almost sticky with the topping but not like a lot I've tried over the years. Upon lighting up, a wonderful room note aroma burst out of my pipe, and the taste of fresh raspberry settled on my tongue and it tasted quite good. Those that think an aromatic can't taste like the pouch aroma need to try this, it tastes exactly like it smells. For the first half of the bowl, my sweet tooth was quenched and it tasted wonderful but very little of the tobacco taste came across. Then just past the mid point, I started tasting the tobacco come through. The first half was very mild and rich while the second half started biting and got harsher and at the bottom of my pipe it became very bitter. To it's credit though, it did not gunk up my pipe and did burn down to a dark grey ash and a little dottle. While in no way would this be a regular smoke for me, I have to say I did enjoy it overall and it will be nice to have when I have the sweet cravings. Because of the bitter end I can't give it four stars, I will give it three because for an aromatic it behaved quite well and was enjoyable.

This was the first of Boswell's I have tried. I started with 2oz about 3 weeks ago and as of now only have a bowl or two left. The smell in the bag is great, kinda like raspberry jam on a sugar cookie. It smells like its good enough to eat. The taste is mild ripe raspberry with a faint vanilla finnish. Actually, you have to really concentrate, I thought, to detect the vanilla. Not a very strong tabacco flavor but a good relaxing smoke. If you like aromatics this is the one to get. I will definitely be ordering more to keep on hand.

This is definitely one of my favorite blends from Boswell. The raspberry comes through perfectly and the room note is wonderful. It always smokes easy and does not bite. Definitely 4 stars for this one!

Ive ordered this a couple of times now, its a welcomed change to PennDT and christmas Cookie that I normally smoke. Good pouch aroma, just enough flavoring and like all Boswell blends ive tried burns to a clean white ash with little bite. I personally like the room note of this blend but some members of my family dont which is why I cant give it a better room note.

if trapped on a deserted island i'd want this and a pipe to be the only things i'd bring with me! well....lest we forget about the fire... the taste is out of this world! the only thing that would enhance this is to blend with an ounce of chocolate cream.

This is only the second Boswell Tobacco blend that I have ever tried, behind Paradise. This blend smells great in the pouch, lights easy and is pleasant on re-lights. After I dumped out some ash and mixed up the tobacco it re-lit and smelled the same as when I first lit it. I enjoyed the ever so sublte taste of Raspberry. A fuller smoke than Paradise. I enjoyed it and will keep it in rotation.

Just like the other Boswells Blends I have tried, Christmas Cookie, Berry Cobbler, and now this one. No Bite, taste good. Burns to a white gray ash. No goo at bottom of Pipe. Moisture is perfect. Guys give this a try. www.boswells.com

This blend smells so good in the pouch and is even better in a briar. It has the right moisture level, packs easy and no goop at the bottom of the pipe when done. It was one of the best tasting aromatics I've ever smoked. Nice smooth Cavendish flavor with raspberry and a slight vanilla undertone. The room note is a delight. Even a non-smoker shouldn't complain about you smoking this. This was a joy to smoke. This is now my second favorite aromatic behind Christmas Cookie.

I just got this from Boswell with Bear blend, as well as Christmas Cookie. Having tried Berry Cobbler before, I think this one tops it. The taste is much more mild than berry cobbler and the flavoring isnt as artificial. Smokes cool, Leaves no sticky residue, and has what I believe to be a better room note than most any other berry aromatic. Girlfriend only likes this and Christmas cookie as blends to be around.
