Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Boswell's Premium Burley

Whiskey/Vanilla topping but very light and not over done. If you like Prince Albert, you will like this.

this tobacco comes in a ribbon cut, inspecting the pouch we can see burley bright virginia and black cavendish, it packs and lights very easily. The taste is of nuts and chocolate in the burley kind of way, the cavendish adds a chemical sweetness that reminds me of cheap aromatic house blends. The nicotine is almost non existent on this one. I would recommend this to the smoker that thinks Prince Albert is too much, or to the aromatic smoker venturing in less aromatic blends, but to me it's just completely boring. It does seems to help form cake pretty fast, and you can puff this all day without having to worried about bite tongue.

would I buy this again... no, could you do worse... yes.

I ordered 6 blends from Boswell's. They are wonderful people and accommadating like no other shop.Again, this tastes like less sweet Norse Gold. I guess that is their signature taste like Peretti Burley or Wilke Toasted Cavendish. Do not expect Peretti 333 or Wilke Nut Brown Burley. This is more like an extremely high end Sir Walter Raleigh or Carter Hall. Reminds me the most of Edgeworth Burley in the pouch. I am sorry to say I have found all the 6 Boswell blends rather disappointing. Northwoods was the best of the lot and that was because of the imaginative nature of the blend.

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.

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.

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.

It tastes, looks and smokes like Lane's BLWAB with a small amount of black Cavendish thrown in. Two stars for lack of originality.
