(2.94)
A Golden Cavendish blend along with overtones of toasted Cherry. It is very smooth and has an excellent room aroma. History of this blend being born is back in 1998, Dan along with Russ Hess a customer that turned into a good friend. They worked on this blend till they got it just right. Now this is Russ's favorite all day smoke and many others who have discovered Sweet and Mild. Customers who smoke Sweet and Mild are often asked what is that sweet aroma ?

This used to be one of my favorite tobaccos but the last time I got it it flat out sucked the tobacco was tacky and it appeared to have sat around for awhile and although the price is not bad I still would not buy this again

This was acquired during my annual pilgrimage to Boswell's . If you haven't been there, you simply must visit. The pipes are works of art. The tobaccos are among the best you'll find. The people are fantastic.
Thick, creamy smoke. A touch if spice. A hint of cherry. Prepare to receive positive comments from those around you.
As I enjoy this, the late afternoon is tranquil. The air is crips. The bells toll in the distance. The estate is quiet. It has been a good day. When deciding what to enjoy before dinner, I reached for this tobacco and am rewarded with an easy smoke. Were the day stressful and long, I don't think I would have enjoyed this nearly as much. As pleasant as this is, I don't think it would ever become a regular in my collection.
Lady Heseltine approves. "Ah, now that's nice," she says as she passes by.
This blend is really worth trying.

This is my all day smoke. I simply love this. I am not a Cherry fan, but this tastes so wonderful. Give it a try!

I can't say enough about the Boswell folks and their tobaccos. I got several more samplers and am enjoying my way through them. I enjoy some more than others and this is one of them. It is very smooth and has a nice flavor to it. I don't know how to describes tastes but I do know when I really like one and this one I really like. I will be getting more of this one!

It's sweet and it's mild.. it's a decent blend from Boswell's and it's worth at least giving it a try, but it just wasn't as good or as memorable as some of the other blend's Boswell offers

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

Not bad, very mild. Kind of a "golden" cavendish taste. Similar to Spice/Nice. Slightly "sweet" aroma. Stays lit well, lots of smoke. Slightly citrusy, like Sweet Tea. Taste/aroma improve toward end of bowl. Should be a good "social" blend.

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
