Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Black Jack

(3.00)
This is a black Cavendish, it tastes and smells exactly like black cherries. This tobacco burns very clean and has excellent room aroma. This is another one of J.M.'s blends that have been around since the early 1980's.

While a nice aromatic, I did not detect any licorice or anise flavoring whatsoever. An ounce of this was included in the Autumn sampler that I purchased a few days ago. I was hoping for a little more licorice...

While it's not a bad tobacco, it's not something I will revisit. It just doesn't stand out from the crowd enough..

I like the look and feel of the tobacco: springy broad cuts of contrasted black and light brown. It also smelled really good when I popped Boswell’s non-vacuum canister, and that aroma carried over to the smoke. Well done for an aromatic. Aroma and flavor are in sync, never any bite even with aggressive puffing.

Sort of a cross between Lane BCA and 1-Q. Tastes like Cocoa Puffs. I also get charred marshmallow, graham cracker, milk chocolate, and occasional hits of molasses and caramelized brown sugar. Not surprisingly, the ambient aroma is like somebody has been making s’mores! No natural tobacco taste that I could discern, but that’s not what this is about.
