This is an aromatic lovers,aromatic. This is by far the best aromatic in my collection(aside from Dan Tobaccos Blue Note!) The Boswell team hit a perfect score on this aromatic. It smells,tastes great and no bite to boot! This blend is perfectly balanced with flavor and smell. Boswell did a fine job. 4/4 stars!!!

Though there may be certain things about this tobacco that the smoker might not fully appreciate (or even absolutely not like), the flavor and aroma are above reproach, in my opinion. Nice sweet vanilla cookie taste and an aroma that people WANT to be around. This is a very mild blend and is not going to overwhelm the smoker's taste buds with flavor, and accordingly it does not bite in the least except for an overeager puffer looking to expand this blends focus. I agree with the tin description that one does not need to like aromatics to enjoy this blend but it would not, IMHO, be an all day smoke. This, for me, is a treat... almost like a special dessert. I probably won't have more than 2 oz of this in my tobacco bar at any one time, and will likely go without it for stretches of time. It's less so than other aromatics, but it does leave the telltale goopy trace in the pipe. Best to give it a pipe of its own. It does lose some of its flavor down the bowl as the casing burns away. It's not perfect. But I fully believe that when the smoker is in the mood for this, nothing else will do. I think this is a very good and original blend; I've never found anything quite like it. Boswell The Younger (like his dad on other projects) should be congratulated on this exclusive gem.

This is my first review, so I'd ask that the more experienced crowd be gracious, and forgive me any reviewer sins... As a relatively new pipe smoker, this tobac accompanied my purchase of a boswell original, and from the opening of the freight box, I was immediately pleased with the aromatic offerings that begged to be packed and lit immediately. My first experience of x-mas cookie was very pleasant in the room note department, though I felt it lacked a bit on the tongue. Perhaps I'm not a great reviewer of aromatics, but it just didn't have much flavor.... The tobacco was very high quality and offered a cool smoke to the end of the bowl, but got a bit "burnt" toward the end of the bowl. Additional smokes have proven much the same, though with some aging the flavors have "melded" some and proved more interesting. When compared with a few other aromatic offerings, it stacks in the average department for tongue interest, and since trying some english blends, I've decided I might be more inclined toward that variety of pipe tobacco. I give this one solid marks for room note and quality of tobacco, and account for my lacking flavor interest to a more significant interest in english blends.

This is one of the few Boswell's aromatics I actually like and that tastes of something. Mild, flavorful smoke. Packs and lights easily.

While I enjoyed this, I liked Berry Cobbler better. I will say one thing though, Boswells has figured out how to make tasty aromatics without boiling your tongue! This had too much of a vanilla flavor for me but I expected that with the Christmas cookie thing going. I smells wonderful in the pouch though and has a good aroma but not cookie to me. It had another flavor that came and went like a maple or even a black cherry and was one that I had to smoke halfway down to really enjoy it. it did burn very well and left little goop in my pipe which was nice. I won't buy more of this but it makes me want to try more Boswell aromatics.

Easy to lite and stay lit. Smokes down to a light gray ash. Moisture content is perfect. No bite. Casing is very lite. You could smoke this all day. This one I will be reordering.

I liked it, but it burned a little hotter. I noticed that after it dried somewhat, it was much more enjoyable, but this is definitely a good blend.

Another winner from Boswell...taste is pretty much that of a vanilla cookie. Very easy on the taste buds and can be smoked bowl after bowl with no ill effects. Room note is as good as it gets...a true all day smoke. 4 stars!!!

I just received 2oz of this blend and have smoked four bowls. The burn its great. No goop in the pipe and a awesome room note. The wife lets me smoke this in the living room when we watch tv. The taste is mild with hints of vanilla, cookie and a little sweetness. Not a heavy aromatic. I might take the previous posters suggestion and buy a pound and let it age. Another hit from Boswell. Highly recommended ****

I INSIST TO ALL YOU NAY SAYERS THAT THIS IS AN ENJOYABLE AROMATIC. BUT YOU MUST AGE IT. MY 2011 BATCH TUCKED AWAY IN MY DRAWER IN AN OLD COOKIE TIN. IS DELIGHTFUL TODAY 12 /23 /12. EVERYONE ENJOYED THIS BOWL AS A WALKED TROUGH THE PARK. RICH FULL MED STRENGHT TOBACCO. GREAT AROMA OF COOKIE DOUGH AND VANILLA AND CHOCOLATE FILLED THE AIR. A GOOD NICOTINE LEVEL VERY PIPEY SMOKE. I SMOKE THIS ONLY THROUGHOUT THE CHRISTMAS SEASON AS A TREAT. AFTER NEW YEAR BACK TO BURLEY AND ENGLISH BUT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR I LET ALL ENJOY MY PIPE. YOU MUST REMEMBER TO BUY A POUND A PUT IT AWAY TILL XMAS 2011. BECAUSE IT GET SO MUCH BETTER WITH AGE. THAT IS IF I DONT SMOKE IT ALL BY THEN LOL It that time of year again! The best of the best aromatic blend that pleases both the Smoker and the passer by. Good Qulity leaf that dosen't leave the bowl sticky. A mild Vanilla and cookie flavor which just borders on being sweet. A great mild flavorful all day smoke. If your are into aroamtics This blend is a must. If not give it a try it may not make you an aromaitc lover but I am sure you will have a good smoke. Ages much better then most aromatics. I would recomnd to get a pound smoke through the holidays and store it away for next year. It get even better with age. Easy light up and taste better hours later to relight. Now this is blend being an aromatic should not be compared to English or heavier blends.

So I decided to order a few samples from Boswell as i've heard they carry some of the best aros around. So i put out an order for 1oz of this, as well as Dutch Treat and No Bite DeLite. The moisture level was perfect for me, as i tend to smoke my baccy a little on the moist side. Easy to light, and easy to keep lit. The room note is fantastic! I really can't get enough of it and i'm sure others around me can't either. This is one of those blends that i'll smoke in the car to freshen it up! The taste: I dunno, it really just didn't cut it for me. I was all about tasting cookies when I lit up this sucker, and i can't say I didn't. But at the same time, i was expecting a bit more of a full cookie flavor. Don't get me wrong and don't let the 2 stars fool you, this is a solid blend. It just didn't sweep me off my feet like I was expecting it to. I would still recommend it though!

This is a joy to smoke. It has a very nice room note, and is just about as bite free as you could ask for. It left no goop in the bottom of the bowl, and was ready to smoke right from the bag. It was the perfect moisture level to pack and smoke. It was very easy to keep lit as well. Unless something truly magical comes along this will be my go to smoke. It is well worth the $2.20 an ounce price tag and then some.

This is a great all day mild tobacco.Upon opening the 2oz.sample, the aroma was delightful.This tobacco packs well, not wet at all,lights easy and stayed lit.Has a nice fresh baked cookie aroma with a hint of cherry coming thru now and then.What i loved about this tobacco is the white clouds of smoke it produced along with the cookie aroma.This is a no tongue bite tobacco,stays cool, no goopy mess,and it's pleasing cookie aroma.If your looking for a mild,NO FUSS,pleasant(not over powering) aroma tobacco, then get it while you can.

I keep finding myself coming back to this blend, very pleasant. I wouldnt say it has a vanilla taste to it more like a creamy tobacco taste. I been smoking this daily for about three months now and cant get enough.

A very smooth smoke, and very enjoyable. I've smoked just one other Boswell Tobacco (Berry Cobbler) and it was very good also but I think I like this tobacco a little bit better. There's practically no bite at all. I would Highly recommend this to anyone, especially to new Smokers out there (like me).

A great choice here, very nice, very smooth. I've found this to go good with most any hot drink...from the cup of joe, to the hot buttered rum, to a toddy...this is a great accent to hot drinks.

Burns slow and cool. AMAZING room note. Smells like vanilla cookies. If you are into your vanilla aromatics this is a great choice. Even if your not...still amazing. Love the blend... Definitely will buy more.
