Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Private Stock

I am fairly new to VaPers and was trying new blends like crazy. I figured I hadn't tried one, excepting The Beast which hardly qualifies. Soo I bought a few and really enjoyed them. I was making my almost monthly trip to Boswell's Alexandria store and knew he made Private Stock. I got some while I was there. As soon as I got in my car I stuffed my nose in the bag and got that familiar cow manure scent! None of my other VaPers I've tried had it and I knew I'd like it right then and there. The Wizard of Bos uses way more perique in PS than any of the other VaPers I've tried. So much deeper and richer flavor. It may be considered a perique blend by some rather than a traditional VaPer. I've liked all of them and each has its own merits. PS's merit is an abundance of rich, farmy, earthy, dark fruity, plummy, chocolatey perique. If you like perique, get some Private Stock. If you don't prefer that type of flavor then steer clear. But I sure do like it. The Virginia's do offer their share of stewy fruit flavor and dont bite. It lites up easily and burns steady throughout. There's enough nic to know it's there but not enough to leave earth's atmosphere. The flavor is delicious and strong enough to give the strong flavor lovers something to do, while the milder tobacco lovers can enjoy this on those "change it up" days. This unique blend gets 4 stars from me.
