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

There's a whisper of caramel, vanilla, and a kinda bakery spice aftertaste that so far I found to be exclusive to Boswell aromatics. I don't taste the Virginia. It's a people pleaser, smoky, bite-less and non distracting. Something you can ignore. It's not Boswell's "Best", but it's alright.

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.

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.

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 !

A-MAZ-ING. This is probably the best aromatic blend I have ever had in my three or four years of pipe smoking. It almost actually tastes like the room note, which is pretty rare in my experience. I like most Boswell aromatics and their Northwoods, but I think this may be my new go to aromatic. If you haven't tired it, you owe it to yourself to experience an ounce or two.
