Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Boswell's Premium Burley

When purchasing a Boswell's pipe I chose this thinking it would be a great way to break in the new pipe.

There's a very slightly nutty scent with what is probably vanilla and maybe some anise. I know that PG is supposed to be tasteless, but it tastes like there's a lot in this tobacco. The smoke is very mild without much depth.

Positives of this tobacco are that it burns very evenly and doesn't bite. Negatives are that the flavoring/potential PG really ruins the burley experience for me. It had a very synthetic taste to it.

I was not a fan of this and don't think burley lovers (like myself) will enjoy this. I'll stick to Carter Hall for a mild yet sweet burley smoke.

When you buy a pipe from Boswell they give you a sample of tobacco for free. When I described to Dan what I liked and asked him to recommend something, this is what he gave me. GOOD CALL! Opening the bag I pick up a great sweetness and the chocolate others noted. The nuttiness comes through ever so slightly as does a coffee scent. The sweetness does not come through the pipe though. I wish it tasted a bit more sweet than it does- especially with such a great smell in the pouch. That said- I asked for something more natural tasting but still with a great room note- Dan really nailed this based on what I asked for!

I tend to lean towards aromatics but I like some natural flavors as well. The burley in here is so mild and smooth with no bite, no nasty flavor, no harsh relights. From that standpoint this gets a 4 of 4. The Cavendish adds a great hint of sweetness that's great in the room note but like I said isn't quite as strong in the taste. And while it comes through in the taste, I like a little more sweetness.

That said, this really is a great blend. It's probably deserving of a 4 star review honestly, but it's not quite getting it from me... I'd say 3.5 stars for sure. If you're an aromatic smoker looking to step away from the overly sweet and to something a little more natural, this is the right blend for you!

Strange as it may seem, this tobacco in the bag reminds me of a 'York Peppermint Pattie' with a very mild chocolate hint and the mildest of minty/musty aromas that combine to remind me of that particular confectionary treat.

In the bowl this stuff has no detectable flavoring, save for a mild nuttiness and sweetness derived from its constituent parts. Could be an all-day smoke. Nothing to write home about, good or bad.

I definitely like this blend. Mild, slightly sweet, easy packing, not too much of anything, very nice if you like burleys. I do like to blend it with Boswell's Main St. Burley, they even each other out very nicely to make a great burley blend.

This reminds me of Boswell's Majestic 586, but a bit lighter. Flavor is light, but I taste nuts and a hint of either vanilla or caramel - can't quite make it out. Nicotine effect is definitely noticeable. The smoke is quite light - so this would be easy to smoke all day. If you like burley blends definitely check it out. If you prefer something stronger or more flavored - maybe not so much.

A really enjoyable Burley blend, with a definite nutty, creamy, and peripherally sweet taste. Seems to me to get more tasty at the end of the bowl, and more enjoyable. A keeper, and a blend that I compare other Burleys to.

One match!! That's all it took to smoke the whole bowlful. Burley sure burns easy. Not much flavor or aroma. An uncomplicated tobacco. Downgrading to two stars.

I'm a huge fan of Burley tobaccos, so this is very pleasing. Nutty, slighty sweetend with the touch of cavendish. The only negative I detect with this is the over abundance of Licorice/annise flavouring that get's there before the tobacco does in some puffs. update: I mixed .5 lbs of this with .5 lbs.McClelland X-40. Not as sweet, but more powerful Burley with a great Nic hit.

I recently smoke this with a nice cup of cuban coffee and it was excellent!Cafe Pilon and Boswell Premium Burley. I would say mild in strength, but medium in flavor. The aromas are the best! Nice full smoke fills the air with authority, I love it! Boswell does it again!
