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.

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.

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.

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

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.
