Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Sweet and Mild

The toasted cherry aroma stands out the most here, with a slight alcohol note in the back ground. But for the life of me, I cannot detect the coffee that's supposed to be in here. There is more of a chocolate note than any coffee I smell.

As with the plethora of Boswell aromatics, this blend lights and packs as well as the others.

On the initial lighting, this blend seems to fall a bit flat for me personally. The taste of mild natural cherry is delightful, the whiskey is faint, but still no coffee. Burns well, clean and cool, no bite. 2nd half this blend opens up quite a bit. There is enough natural tobacco flavor paired with the toasty-cherry to keep even seasoned veterans interested. This may be your cup of tea, but there are betters from Boswell for me. Still recommended at 3 stars

I have to say I wasn't sure what to think of this one at first but after a few more bowls I have grown to really like it. The aroma in the pouch is sweet and a little fruity as is the room note. The blend looks very nice too with a mix of bright and dark tobaccos. The cherry comes through, but it's not too much and you can still taste the tobacco. I would say it's a mild, sweet and easy going blend that starts with some cherry and finishes with vanilla/caremel from the black cavendish. Everything is in there just right. Smokes very nice and no bite. I could see this as an "all day smoke" like Boswell claims, but I enjoyed it most puffing on my smaller pipe for a quick tasty smoke. I recommend it and I would get it again. I'm liking this, it seems to be a milder version of PA Dutch Treat from Boswell's, not as much cherry or as full flavored, but very very good.

Perhaps Boswell does cherry flavored aromatics better than anyone, or at least their version of imparting cherry to a blend is to this smokers liking. Mild and pleasant overall a most pleasing experience. The flavoring does not overwhelm, but remains throughout the bowl, no bite, not wet and did not foul the pipe.

As the name says, sweet and mild. However, the sweetness is just at the right level with a hint of cherry. Cool burning, easy to smoke anytime of day, and the Golden Cavendish is cut just right for packing. It is usually overlooked by many, I like to get some from time to time as it just hits that spot of a good solid aromatic with the right brightness I look for,

The cherry is sweet, and the dominant flavor, but its quiet. I don't taste coffee, or whiskey, but theres something trying to imitate them; what I would best describe as a kinda bakery spice aftertaste that I find in all of Boswell's aros. There are also notes of chocolate in the room note.

Boswell's know what they're doing with aromatics, and they named Sweet & Mild appropriately. It's the perfect blend to ignore in a social situation. It smells great, burns fantastically, and I like the plumes of smoke it gives off. There's nothing bad about this blend, but there's nothing memorable about it either. 2 1/2 stars

This is a nice mild tobacco.Upon opening the pouch you can smell the sweet aroma,almost tea like.This tobacco packs well ,lights well,burns well to a fine ash.No tongue bite at all.To me it smelt nutty/leathery.Has a nice aroma for non smokers.If your a big aromatic smoker it may not be for you,but if you want a mild nice smelling, easy going tobacco, then give it a try.

J.M. Boswell has long been famous for his aromatic tobacco blends and Sweet and Mild keeps that tradition. If you are an aromatic fancier, or maybe even if you aren't, you should give this one a try.

S/M is made up of dark brown and black cavendish cut pieces and is an attractive tobacco in the pouch. The tobacco is not sticky and doesn't seem to be overloaded with PG, although I'm sure there is some there. It doesn't have the overwhelming pouch aroma of some aromatics, indicating it hasn't been overcased.

Upon putting match to tobac, your first impression is of a pleasant sweetness that is not overbearing or cloying. This continues until mid-bowl, when the sweetness gradually fades and you are left with the taste of the base tobaccos. At least some of it seems to be coming from VAs, though there's also some burley there. It's more of a tangy taste than a sweet one.

S/M lights pretty readily and needed an average amount of relights for an aromatic, which means a few more than other types of blends. It doesn't leave your pipe goopy and only a small amount of dottle is left in the bottom of the bowl. S/M is a pretty economical tobacco. It sells for $1.75/oz. or $28/lb.

Scores for Sweet and Mild: taste-16 of 20; lighting and burn- 7 of 10; value- 8 of 10. 31 points gets it a good *** rating.
