Am I crazy, or does this blend taste of chocolate too? Actually, I barely get the vanilla, all I get is chocolate. Or maybe my taste buds are off idk.. I haven't tried 1Q but this reminds me a lot of captain black royal (which was one of my favorite blends at one point) only it's 10 times better. Burns slower, cooler, and it's a lot tastier! In love with this.

Also wanted to confirm what everyone says, the Boswells are just a pleasure to deal with. They are so friendly, they make you feel like you've been good friends with them for years, even if it's your first time calling. Love their pipes, and Tobacco. If you haven't dealt with them yet, you should start now.

Boswells Best is a very pleasant smoke - for a special occasion or as an all day smoke - it really doesn't matter! The taste is mild and pleasant with some nutty and vanilla notes on the palate. No tongue bite whatsoever. The room note is brillant, fullbodied and smooth.

If you are a fan of aromatics I cannot recommend the Boswells tobaccos enough! In my opinion they produce some of the best aromatics on the market.

I have tried four of Boswell's tobaccos. Boswells best is just as the other three.... wonderful. I love the pouch aroma. It gives a sweet and subtle tickle to the nose. It lights nice, and burns very well. I have had zero tongue bite. I would highly suggest this tobacco if you are an occasional or full time aromatic smoker.

For me Boswell's Best is just that - the best. Of all the Boswell blends I've had the pleasure of trying, this is my favorite. I've also smoked more BB than any other tobacco to date. It's sweet, delicious, and has more going on than your typical vanilla aromatic.

As others mention, it can smoke a bit hot and moist, but with proper breath control this my all time favorite aromatic. I would recommend this to anyone who loves aromatics, sweets, or vanilla. 4.5/5

Perfect mix of tobaccos, evenly dispersed throughout the pouch. The black cavendish seems to be cut finer in this blend than most other blends at Boswell. the pouch aroma is intoxicating, more of natural vanilla bean than an artificially made topping.

Light and packs very well. This blend burned evenly throughout the bowl. The vanilla sweetness stays even keel, and there is even a decent amount of natural tobacco flavor that comes through! Never harsh or acrid, even down to the bottom of the bowl. This is a definite crowd pleaser! Terrific room note, one I have been smoking a lot of indoors lately, due to the heat of the southern Michigan summer. Wife enjoys it, so it will stay in my rotation. Strong work to the Boswells!

Very nice smoke. Smoking out of a freshly opened tin I find the flavors to be just as described by previous reviewers. Mild vanilla, caramel and brown sugar. Many compare this to 1Q but I don't taste it. There is some minor similarity in flavor but this is a much smoother smoke blended with higher quality tobacco. I find it excellent with my morning coffee. Recommended!

Another great very mild blend from Boswells pipes and tobacco. Stays lit, does not bite, and has a very pleasant room note and tobacco taste. Just easy to smoke and very enjoyable

I'm a Big fan of anything boswells, and this blend is at the top of my list. It's an all day blend that stays cool and has zero bite. The hint of vanilla adds just the right amount of sweetness without ruining the tobacco flavor. As with all of Boswells aromatics...Please allow some time for this blend to dry a bit before you smoke it. You will be rewarded with a nice mild smoke with just enough flavor to keep you smiling all day long.

i purchased 2 oz of this fine tobacco and smoked it out of my boswell i just bought. out of the bag it is very pleasant. it has a chocolate/nutty scent which is very nice. smokes cool but a bit moist. it gummed up my heel a bit but it wasnt a real issue. absolutly no tongue bite and the room note is great. another noble and masterful blend by the boswells.

This is the first blend I tried from boswells and it did not dissappoint. It lights well, burns easy and unlike some other vanilla blended stuff i have tried, doesn't cook you from chin to nose. Although the base flavor is light and doesn't overwhelm the clean tobacco flavor, it does have subtle nuances of vanilla that show up throughout the course of a bowl. It could just be me but i also pick up a little bit of caramel. The room note is a sweet, clean smell that shouldn't offend anyone around, and several of my friends say it reminds them of a vanilla latte. Burns down to nice, fine ash and does not goop the bowl. As with all aromatics, smoke it in a dedicated pipe to get the most out of this blend. Its a great allday smoker and you can go through several bowls without burning or drying your mouth out.
