Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Northwoods
(3.51)
Full bodied and full flavor - a deeply complex English, but with a smooth and mild base of Latakia along with toasted Virginias. J.M. had blended Northwoods for himself to smoke, but then the customers started asking him what he was smoking and his answer was "have a bowl". Northwoods has become one of our most popular English blends.

Been smoking cigarettes, cigars from exquisite habanas to horse manure like... the whole spectrum. This is not good, and I mean not at all. It has a chemical bad taste like you smoke a Givenchy perfume bottle. Nothing natural transpare through it. Went straight to the bin. Take this with a grain of tabacco as I'm relatively new to pipe. Nobite delight was better but still there seems to be too much of other things added to the leaf itself that completely hide it from the thick incense like syrup. No flavoring? Really?

Tastes like a grab bag of the mildest tobaccos got mixed up together, likely due to all the Cavendish which I am not accustomed to. Not for my tastes, but not unpleasant, I suppose.

I think its Lane 1Q with a pinch of latakia, right? Really nothing special, heading straight to the trash for this smoker. Heavy 1Q flavor. If I want Lane 1Q, I'll just smoke that. Why was a remix necessary?
And flavoring "none"? Stawp. Its an aro.

This tobacco is extremely over rated. Or I received a horrible batch. When I received this tobacco 2 years ago I couldn't wait to pack it into my favorite pipe. I was disappointed to say the least. This tobacco is almost like someone took frog Morton and put plastic flavor casing on it. It was disgusting. Not wanting to chuck it I jared it and just opened it after 2 years. The plastic taste is not ad bad but still there. Plastic is about the best I can describe it. And it's so noticeable the blend is awful. By plastic I mean the way new plastic smells. Just don't understand how ppl have all these great reviews. I must have gotten a junk batch.

The worst English blend I have tried. It tastes and smells to me as if it has been treated with a really cloying sweet licorice. English lovers stay away though folks looking for a weird "sweet-English" hybrid may find it interesting.
