Revised 7/3/23: After a couple of years of trying all kinds of tobaccos, I settled on English tobaccos as my favorite. The only aromatic I continue to smoke is Davidoff Danish Mixture.
Original review:
Revised review: I tried this tobacco again after letting it rest for six months in a mason jar. I still did not like it and discarded it.
The good aspect of this is that the tobacco was stable in flavor and smoking qualities from new to six months, with no apparent change during that time. Most tobaccos I've tried do change flavor over time.
Original review: A bit too strongly flavored for me. Leaves a lot of deposits in the pipe bowl.
For me, this was a good tobacco for helping me to learn how to taste pipe tobacco, and to properly light a bowl of tobacco. It's great for that because the strong flavor makes it easy to sense when I've used too much flame and overly charred the tobacco, and the sweet flavor is so strong that it makes it easy to sense when I'm getting a good berry flavor.
But for better or worse, I've found that I prefer less assertively flavored tobaccos. I have had the same experience with Sutliff Z92 Vanilla Custard and Boswell Raspberry Cream: Helpful to learn from but just not my cup of tea for smoking regularly thereafter.
A quality product and I can recommend it for someone looking for the stronger flavor. I highly recommend it because it is what it is claimed to be: A full flavored aromatic that does taste of berries.
Technique notes: My smoking technique is to focus only on smoking. No reading or work or other distractions. Just enjoying the smoke. Outdoors only. A few bowls per week of pipe smoking. Lightly charring the tobacco initially and with relights. Sipping. Occasional retrohale. Peterson pipe lighter with smallest practical flame. Sometimes a BIC EZ Reach lighter.
Am using a variant of the Frank method to pack a 2/3 full pipe without first putting loose tobacco in the bowl. I just take a wad of tobacco and press it into place Frank-style. Tobacco is stored in OXO POP container with size 60 Boveda 72% pack.
Savinelli 207 smooth is my favorite pipe and favorite pipe design.

I thought I would get a variety of aromatics from Boswell, and I started off with this one. Now, if you dislike aromatics, you would probably want to stay away from this blend; its berry taste and aroma are pronounced. But the flavor is really great and it does not bite at all. Four aromatic stars.

I'm on a bit of a quest to find the ideal berry-oriented tobacco. So far, this is in the lead.
Of the three Boswell aromatics which I've tried so far (Christmas Cookie, Raspberry Cream, Berry Cobbler), this is my favorite. Compared to the Raspberry Cream, it has a significantly more flavorful taste, bag smell, and room note. Also, in the same comparison, this tobacco is more mild (what I prefer for an aromatic), leaving much less of that cigarette/ash-tray aftertaste in your mouth. This blend rocks, could smoke it all day.

Without a doubt, a truly scrumptious tobacco. The aroma from the jar is almost mouth-watering; seriously smells like cobbler in the oven! It smokes well- mannered and without bite when you invest some time. The room note smells more like a scented candle than a tobacco. Your wife may even thank you. I've never smoked a blend this flavorful and generally enjoyable. Four stars!

This tobacco is one of my favorite aromatics. It makes a beautiful room note, and smokes cool. If you are a fan of aromatics, you have gotta try this!

Berry Cobbler is simply amazing! This is one of my absolute favorite aromatics - and I smoke a lot of that stuff! Everytime I open a bag of berry cobbler I simply what to dive into it! And the actual smoking experience is just as satisfying. Every puff is pure pleasure - and the room note is to die for!
In fact I have had so many compliments on the room note when I smoke this tobacco in public - even from complete strangers and hard core non-smokers too, and they simply love that stuff.
Berry Cobbler is a must for anyone who loves aromatics! It is a truly masterful blend!
Get some!

i just recieved an order from the Boswells, which consisted of 5 tobaccos and an incredible pipe. one of the 5 was berry cobler. this tobacco is extremely flavorful without the over powering sweetness of alot of other aromatics. it tastes like the name says, berry like and a bit of a baked pie crust flavor. it doesnt seem to be overly cased and still has a nice tobacco flavor as well.it leaves a great flavor in the mouth after the smoke and the room note is fantastic. it is a light blend with little nicotine kick and smokes cool without a trace of bite. do yourself a favor and call Boswells shop and get some asap!! a masterful blend.

I am reviewing this soley as an aromatic tobacco with no bearing to other forms of tobacco. As an aromatic, it is truely wonderful. It has a lot of flavoring with low tongue bite. The flavoring unlike most aromatics actually can be tasted quite easily while smoking and it tastes just like it smells; like blueberries.
This is simply the best smelling aromatic I have ever tried. The room note is amazing, the room smelled better after the smoke than before, which is unusual because with most aromatics it seems smokey. I actually did not want to open up a window, it smelled so nice.

I got 4 ounces of this last year and jarred it. I smoked a few bowls last month and a few last night... loved it. It is pleasant with no after taste. The room note is great, smells like a bakery. Burns nice with no bite. Has a hint of citrus taste but it works well. Goes great with a cold glass of diet Doctor Pepper. Will buy and jar more of this.
