I'm in agreement with others on many points with this blend.

I feel it's definitely a good beginners tobacco as it doesn't cause tongue bite & burns very well with few, if any lights.

Where I feel it lacks is with the flavor. I don't get a whole lot from this. I'm getting the sweet notes the most then I'd say the smooth cavendish comes through. I don't get much else personally.

With that said, because it's not overwhelming with strong nicotine or other flavors it fits well in any part of your day & as others have said it's a candidate for an all day smoke at any time.

It's worth a try for sure imo.

Received a 1 ounce pack with my recent pipe purchase (along with Northwoods!!!) and was pleasantly surprised. I am no longer an aeromatic smoker but I do enjoy the 'right' one from time to time. This one is right to me (though, being in Canada, I'll likely limit my Boswell orders to just Northwoods...or Countryside) and I wouldn't turn it down if offered some. Probably one the best lighting tobaccos I've every tried and my wife told me that it still smells like tobacco should smell with just a hint of sweet room note. Burned well right to the bottom of the bowl and DID NOT leave a residue, again, a surprise. Just a hint of flavour but I didn't get that nasty plastic topping bite that accompanies the majority of the aeros that I've tried. Well done, JM.

Have no anything special, It's Simple and Traditional tobacco, burn some hot, nice room note, very light flavor, in taste i see cavendish, some virginia and little burley. Remember Captain Black, but with more quality. Boswell is incredible, not bite tongue. It's for all day!

Not bad, but not spectacular. I prefer other boswell blends over this one.

A nice all around tobacco. It smokes well-doesn't bite and has a pleasant aroma. You could easily make this your all day smoke.

This is the definition of an 'all day smoke'.

Cavendish/Virgina/Burley all detected with a very, very light vanilla flavoring added.

This stuff burns really easy; normally just with one light (after the false light) for me. You don't have to think about smoking it while smoking it.

Strength is mild and would be appropriate for the morning and afternoon. Room note is not offensive.

Nothing really stands out about this blend...maybe that is why I like it so much.

If an aromatic cavendish is your thing, this is your blend. A nice sweetness along with a modest tobacco flavor highlights this blend. It smokes fairly dry although it does seem to contain a quantity of PG. I have no problem smoking this to the bottom of the bowl and it does not goop up the pipe. I would suggest using a pipe dedicated to aromatics or a cob when testing this tobacco because it does leave a ghost

One of my favorite Boswell Blends,1-Q and 1-M tend to give me major headaches when smoked all day long.. BB does not. It also burns a lot cooler, slower and leaves no goop in the bottom of my pipe. Truly an all day smoke in my opinion.

This is a nice blend. While a little deeper than a year in my walk with a pipe, I’ve been into cigars for a couple decades so know my way around tobacco, although pipes are full of new interesting nuances.

Being considered mild, it has plenty of flavor and it sticks around to the end of the bowl. It definitely has vanilla and small touches of chocolate making for an overall sweet smoke. The tobacco is at a good moisture when received, and can be smoked as is. I like letting it dry for a while as I find the taste much better. It does leave a little moisture behind with some dottle, but it doesn’t gurgle. I will keep this one around. My daughter says it smells like s’mores.

For an interesting smoke, mix in some C&D Autumn Evening and enjoy. Somewhere between 25-35% AE.

Definitely not 1-Q. I've smoked a ton of that and this is completely different. It's a good smoke but too mild for me and the taste is non-discript. I do enjoy a bunch of Boswell blends and love aromatics but this one is just to bland for me.
