Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Route 22

Another sweet ultra topped Cavendish Aromatic from Boswell. Compared to other vanilla tobaccos I've smoked, this one has a beefier burnt sugar coating plowing up your nose (the listed butterscotch perhaps), so nothing refined here.

Like their other sticky products, extra drying time is pointless since the "resin feel" doesn't go away, and burns readily anyways. I never got much nuance in taste beyond a general sweetness that never develops. It was neither awful nor exciting. Route 22 felt a tad stronger than their other Aromatics, creeping up on medium, though certainly not a strong or nicotine heavy product out of context.

It may seem a bit suspect that I am giving all the Boswell Aromatics the same 2 star rating, but they honestly all perform about the same. When it come down to it, just pick the name you like best, as no matter which you choose, expect the same overly topeed product that won't bite and fills your cheeks with sugar. That said, this was my least favorite, with No Bite Delight being the frontrunner for being the closest to represent it's flavor (chocolate).
