The vanilla is the star flavor, but it's not deep or that rich. The caramel notes play a supporting role. The black cavendish is sugar sweet. There's not much tobacco taste here, but the grass, honey and citrus from the Virginia cavendish does peek through some. Some think this is 1-Q, and I can see why, except for one thing. The chocolate, while not strong at all, is a shade more noticeable than I have found in 1-Q. Has very little nicotine. Won't bite or get harsh. It burns a little moist and leaves some moisture in the bowl, but no dottle. Has a consistent flavor all the way through. The after taste and room notes are pleasant. A decent all day smoke that doesn't fill your senses as you go about your business. Two and a half stars.

OK?..I SEE THIS BLEND REVIEW HAS HAD SOME HOT-HEADS VOICING THEIR OPINIONS OTHER THAN WHAT THIS SITE IS INTENDED FOR. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO PEOPLES OPINIONS, WE ARE REVIEWING THE BLEND, NOT THE FOLKS THAT MAKE IT OR HOW IT IS COMPARED TO OTHER BLENDS.
So?to review this BLEND (not the people that make it! That?s what we?re here for right?!) 🙂
I ordered this blend based on the name so had to give it a try. The pouch aroma is very light with a very slight nutty scent. Upon lighting this up, I didn?t notice anything special that would make this Boswell?s ?best?. To me, it is a very basic flavor with not much going on with it. I guess it would be a good all-day smoke. For me, I like a bit more character in my smoke. Felt like smoking air. I didn't notice much of a difference if any with "Dan's Blend". If your looking for flavor, this one lacks it! Very boring.

I'm a fan of Boswell's tobaccos, but this isn't one my faves. It's a very light, easy going blend, but for me it's not,for lack of a better word, tasty enough. I personally prefer a more flavored smoke. The aroma is OK as well, but nothing special.

Pretty easy to smoke light aromatic. I smoked through 4oz of the stuff and I honestly wont be getting it again but if you are looking for a mild allday blend this could be it

This blend is alright. It could be an all day smoke for those that like mellow aromatics. Tastes like tobacco with a hint of vanilla flavoring. Nothing really unique or special about it. I like some of Boswell's other blends a whole lot, but this isn't one of them.

Nothing special about this, but it's an easy one to cut your teeth on (or a new pipe with). If you like steady, mellow blends, it could be a go to.

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 must say this is not one of my favorites from the Boswell's. It's certainly not their "best" in my opinion. It is a very mild smoke with not much going on. Not bad, just nothing special.

Well for being "Boswells Best"...I just had to try it. Besides the obvious things it has going for it such as smoking great, no bite, great aroma in the pouch and room note...etc, it just has nothing to offer my tastes. It's just too mild, all the way around. Mild, Mild, Mild...
There is a touch of vanilla in there and a zesty-ness from time to time throughout the bowl but I keep telling myself I won't be getting this again. It's labled as an all day smoke, so I guess it is just that...but really it doesn't do anything for me. Decent tobacco flavor and the pros I mention above but otherwise it comes off pretty flat to me.
