This is my all time favorite pipe tobacco. Others have said this is a copy of Lane 1Q. I notice a difference between the two. This have more taste and sweetness than 1Q. It tastes amazing, it smokes great, it smells great. I can smoke this for hours and not get tired of it.
In my opinion Boswell's have made a masterful blend here. I buy 4oz at a time of this stuff, and I usually buy 1-2oz at a time, so that's saying something.
I recommend this to any aromatic lover, you shouldn't be disappointed. The smell when opening the bag...my gosh!

I've not had 1Q so I can't speak to that issue. One day I will and then make my own comparison. I honestly don't believe Boswells would buy and sell it as their own. With that said ... I do like this one a lot and will be getting more of it. As always with Boswell this is quality.

this blend screams of cherry in the bag and in the pipe! i love the taste of the smoke and people around me love the smell. in one night i was standing outside having a bowl at work and everyone that walked past me complimented the flavor in the air.
my favorite compliment was:
"I don't know how your lungs are doing but you better keep smoking that cuz you're making everyone around you happy!"

When I opened the bag notice a hint of vanilla. Moisture content perfect. Easy to light and stay lit. Has a good taste. Just a touch of casing flavor. Burns all the way down. Not making your pipe oily at bottom of bowl. You could smoke this all day, and as often as you would like. Aroma in room is not over powering, but noticeable. No one should complain of the pleasant aroma it produces. This is a keeper.

9 2 20 You know all these years later Still Just a Good Smoke. Nice aroma, No Bite, Good flavor. Good Nicotine level. Stays fresh for long periods of time between rotation of blends. Just one good darn smokes. I Notice the trend back to aromatic blends with smokers. Try this it's just pleasing No Bells or Whistles with this blend just good stuff. You can get a nice small jar from boswell's for this blend for a good price.with just enough tobacco for a season.
I agree to many Tobacco snobs. Part of the fun about smoking a pipe is trying other blands when you get a chance. And as I said before not to compare them to your favorite blend. But rate them on their own merit. Now back to Boswell's best. This is actually much more of high grade burley with a dash of Cavendish added. The contents line should be corrected. A wonderful smooth blend. A nice aroma of nutty burley with vanilla. You could really smoke this one bowl after bowl and probally wouldn't get that tired of it. Great stuff for the Burley lover. A must for the Burley smoker. Another wondeful Boswell Blend. Please both the smoker and all those around.

The vanilla in this aromatic is not for this reviewer the dominant theme, very smooth, mild, with a vanilla undertone down the entire bowl. Believe that in this blend I have reached my quest for an all day smoke vanilla blend, excellent in every regard.

My favorite aromatic, I keep a pound or so here at all times. Smokes clean and dry, vanilla type aromatic that still has a good tobacco flavor. Great blend for beginning pipe smokers and still saitisfying enough for the more experienced esp when smoking in public as you will never be asked to put your pipe down

I'm a fairly new smoker, a little less than 2 years at the time of this post. I've smokes quite a few Aromatics and I really like Boswell's! It is a mild blend and doesn't Bite my tongue like other do, ie C&D Autumn Evening, if smoked at a quicker cadence. I've tried several of Boswell's, ie Berry Cobbler, Christmas Cookie, and No Bite Delite, and prefer BB to all of those. Very Pleasant room note, which is what I look for in an Aromatic. If your a new Pipe Smoker and still learning how sensitive an Organ that your Tongue is, this will be a great smoke for you while learning how to taste your tobacco and practice your cadence. Very pleasant smoke down to the bottom of the bowl with little to no bitterness or harshness. Might need to take a pipe cleaner 3/4 through if it start to get bitter and that will take care of it.

This aromatic blend is in my opinion Boswell's Best as the name says. Its a cool smoke which burns down to the bottom very nicely with no goop or moisture left behind in the bowl. The taste matches the aroma and really puts me in the correct mood for some self reflection. I dont find anything dominating over another and nothing obnoxious. My favorite aromatic by Boswell.

This is a very mild, cool all dayer & a keeper for me. Absolutely NO bite...None whatsoever...very, very mellow cool smoke with the perfect amount of vanilla & what I believe are hints of caramel. My # 2 blend behind Boswell Apple Strudel. Very enjoyable and smoooooth !
