Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Boswell's Premium Burley

If i were to die tomorrow this is the tobacco I want to be buried with...My favorite from Boswell. Simple smoking perfection.

this review will be short and to the point.

if this was the last tobacco i was able to smoke before i die i would die a happy man. call them and order some today!!

This was one of the first pipe tobaccos that I tried and continues to be one of my favorites. It's light, but still flavorful. The cavendish comes through, but does not take over from the burley. It's slightly sweet and just plain wonderful. Unless you prefer heavy tobaccos, I would highly recommend this.

I just love this tobacco! It is incredible 🙂 I have tried some other Boswell blends and enjoyed them all, but this one is one that I will get all the time. (I will say though that I really like the Northwoods too.) I am very thankful for the Boswells. They are great to do business with.

I enjoyed this blend very, VERY much. Don't know why, but this was a great "outdoors" smoke. Not too sweet, but not in the least bit bland. It had a touch of caramel that was very faint, but was there seemed to be a prevalent toastiness with each draw.

Had no problems with excessive moisture or goo in the heel of my pipe and it burned to a fine white ash. I'm used to smoking primarily aromatics (I'm a fairly new pipe smoker) and, while this is considered an aromatic, it was a nice break from the sweeter blends that I've tried.

I think this might have to be a keeper in my rotation. Another winner from JM Boswell!

A burley.now what can you do to a burley that i have not seen in 50 yrs of pipe smoking? YOU CAN IMPROVE IT!!! clean smooth tasteful no bite piece of heaven all the way down to the bottom of the bowl with no bitterness.well i lived through p.a.d.having to build a large cabinet for pipes ,then tobacco.well now i have to get over all those people that willl never know how good this burley is in a pipe. this is a must have.5 or 6 lbs. anyway.thank you! all you BOSWELLS.Thankyou! by the way.this is not even close to lanes burley light.while good, and i buy it. burley light is its own burley and used widely for blending other blends and smoked alone by many. boswells burley has a one of a kind taste,being subjective,it has all of the overtones.

I have only been smoking a pipe for about 10 months now, so excuse my lack of "pipe tobacco vocabulary" in describing this tobacco. I received this tobacco along with a pipe I purchased from Boswell's- in fact, my first briar pipe. I didn't smoke but a bowl or two when I first received this sample bag, but eight months later I have discovered what an enjoyable blend this is.

Being a cigar smoker for years I instinctively sought out stronger tobaccos such as those with latakia in them. The past month or so I have learned to slow down the smoking and enjoy some of the milder blends and even some aromatics. Looking into my tobacco "treasure drawer" I found this bag of Boswell Burley and decided to give it a shot since I was breaking in a new pipe. This has become a really enjoyable afternoon smoke for me.

I was actually surprised at how little moisture was lost while in its zip-lock baggie after 8 or 9 months. There is a subtle sweetness and nuttiness, but not overpowering. The room note not too strong either. For those looking for a good burley blend, give this one a try.

Boswell's Premium Burley in the pouch has a mixture of brown burleys with some black Cavendish mixed in. The pouch aroma is a pleasant sweet smell that reflects its' nice room note. The cut is a chopped ribbon that packs and lights well with good burning characteristics.

BPB has a burley nuttiness with an overlying sweetness that is very pleasant to the taste buds. The taste stays pretty consistent most of the way down, with the sweetness perhaps fading just a bit in the bottom of the bowl.

Pricewise, BPB is reasonable for a high quality blend at $1.95/oz. J.M. uses very good leaf in his blends.

Scores for BPB: taste- 17 of 20; lighting and burn- 8 of 10; value- 8 of 10. 33 points equals a **** score for Boswell's Premium Burley. It is now a staple in my tobacco cabinet.

footnote; Boswell's Premium Burley is now up to $2.70/oz. Normally I would deduct a point for value but most premium tobaccos have also gone up during the same time period. It still remains one of my favorite burley blends.

UPDATE 12/11/10 STILL A GOOD BLEND WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF NICOTINE THIS DOSE GET BETTER WITH AGE SO LET IT SIT IN THE BAG IT COMES IN. AND BETTER ON RELIGHTS. PACKS EASY, EASY TO LIGHT. THERE IS A MILD NUTTY FLAVOR THAT WE BURLEY SMOKERS LOOK FOR WELL ITS IN THIS BLEND. THERE IS ALSO VERY VERY EVER SO SLIGHT VANILLA FLAVOR AS WELL. I NOW GO WITH THIS BLEND OVER GRNADMA KITCHEN FROM PIPES AND CIGARS. BOSWELL IS A MUCH BETTER BLEND AND A MUCH MUCH BETTER VALUE SHIPS QUICK Boswell's Premium Burley is the correct name. I ordered this and a few others that I would like to review but still aren't listed. At Any rate BPB is a very good all day smoke. With an aroma that is not to offensive to the non smoker. The flavoring is definitely there but dose not kill the burley taste. The flavoring as with all Boswell blends have a sweet and Carmel taste but very soft. I feel that this gives Boswell blends their own character. This flavoring can be found through out all his blends but a at different levels. All according to the type of blend. The cavendish gives this blend a very mild tone. The nicotine level is not very high at all. Which some burley smokers might find a turn off. The aroma is close to that of Captain Black but a bit more chocolate or Carmel fragrance. A truly goo blend. I smoke burleys and this I would consider a light burley. Not as smokey as Granger. I do recommend this blend for those getting away from aromatic blends and for those who wish to smoke something lighter then a Virginia or English Blend. For the Burley smoker this is definitely a must have. Look for my other reviews of burleys coming soon. Pipes And Cigars own house blends. As soon as I get them and some them I will post them
