The first time I tried this tobacco was under very strange circumstances. Many years back, I was working on a small farm in a rural midwestern town in the United States. The man whom had employed me was named Zuckerman. Zuckerman was a lousy boss, i would say that the only thing that kept me working there was the fact that he had some connections to some other local farmer daughter tail. That's about it.
One day I had gone out to feed the stupid runt of a pig named Wilbur his slop. And that's when I saw it... Written in a spider web, in the doorway above the stables were the words "Smoke Boswell's Sweet Tea" I was shocked. Never had I seen anything like this. So I immediately jumped the fence to get a closer look, stepping on Wilbur's face and killing him in the process. Heh, some pig. Sure enough, to my surprise, there was in the corner, clear, coherent writing... "Smoke Boswell's Sweet Tea".
I ran to catch Zuckerman, but the man was so fat, he could barely get up from his recliner, let alone make the march out to the barn. So i grabbed his stupid wife. She came out and viewed the spectacle and was equally amazed as I was. After a few minutes, we parted ways. I went to the general store to buy Boswell's Sweet Tea, as per the spider's instructions. But Mrs. Zuckerman had a more sinister plan.
When I returned hours later, Mrs. Fat Zuckerman had begun to market the spider and sell tickets to see it. This pissed me off as I was smoking the Okay blend of tobacco. This madness of her making money off of the spider's various messages involving Boswell's Sweet Tea continued for about a week. The farm was going down hill. Zuckerman himself still hadnt even seen it, cause he was so obese. The farm was going to ruins, quickly becoming commercial. I had to end it. The story goes that the legendary spider died of old age, but I know better. I killed her. It had to be done. To end the soiling of a good old fashioned miracle.
I left later that night, gathering up all my things and stealing a bunch of money from the Zuckermans and breaking their niece Fern's favorite doll on my way out.
THE END.

Time to review the next candy infused Boswell tobacco I ordered. I've come to the conclusion that all their Aromatics are just stewed Cavendish drowning in a mountain of toppings composed of different flavored sugars. Boswell's Sweet Tea has a sour/citrus powder sugar thing going on, that sort of emulates a corn syrup gas station drink (ie. 99 cent Arizona can or Lipton Raspberry Tea from the soda fountain).
It is pretty sticky, yet don't bother drying it, it lights great. Released to the wild is likely the best smelling product to ever fill a room, transcending any "mmm, that pipe smells good" smell and making one wonder what additives in it likely do cause cancer. Inside the smoke is, well you guessed it, a terribly sweet haze with nothing in the way of natural tobacco purity. It is also one of the lightest strength smokes I have come across.
Perhaps I am becoming an Aromatic snob (if such a thing exists), but all of their products remind me of pipe blends from head shops with flavors like "French Silk Pie", "Hostess Twinkie", or other beyond silly sweet concoctions. They are too sweet for me and what I consider kid flavors.

Well Dang if it don't taste like "sweet tea" One has to stretch it a little but it does kind of have that taste though very weak tea. This is a very mild, in every aspect, fine ribbon cut of light and dark tobaccos. It lit up very well, burned doen to the bottom but did give me a little gunk in the bottom of my bowl. I very much felt like I was smoking Borkum Riff with it's light sweet taste and great aroma. I enjoyed smoking this after lunch as the sweet light smoke was refreshing. While this is way too weak for me to be my everyday blend, I will enjoy using up this sampler without feeling the need to mix in burley to give it body. No vanilla here or if it does it fooled me, and the vanilla smell is not on my fingers or clinging to my beard. This would be a great starter tobacco for a beginner.

I love sweet tea. I usually drink a little over a liter a day on average, so buying this blend from Boswell was a no-brainer. Unfortunately, the blend had a little trouble staying lit well, and the flavor wasn't as "sweet tea-ish" as I had hoped for. Even for aromatic lovers, I suggest passing on this one.

this review is just to keep track for myself mainly, less intended as a serious in depth review. Just to keep an eye of what ive tried and what I like, with quick notes about it. alot of these notes are from memory, and I will update the review as I continue smoking them.
i mean i want to give this a much better review. i haven had it in awhile so i could try it again. but this was a hot air tobacco last ai remember, a little sweetness with nothing more too it. however this might be too harsh a review and could revist. but ill prob try another boswells tobacoo

A nice cool smoking blend. Virginians are prevalent, and tastes like Tea to myself. There is a very slight aftertaste but not like some heavy aromatics. Nice but a once and awhile for myself.

I've been on a pipe smoking forum where they rave about this blend. I don't get it. Other than a hint of a citrus flavor, I find this rather bland. Smells sweet. Packs and lights easily. Tastes of nothing.
Nice if you want a very mild smoke or something to give a first timer.
Only thing it has going for it, is it is the only aromatic I found that DGT works for.

i like this blend, it's not goopy although it is heavily cased, has a wonderful room note, burned on the cool side with no bite and is pretty tasty for an aromatic. sweet tea tastes like sweetend iced tea, duh, i know, but how many aromatics taste like anything? this blend can get a little too sweet so i recommend only smoking it for 20 minutes at a time.

Smokes nice and cool with a very mild strength. However, it has almost not flavor at all nor little room note. This could be a good or a bad thing, depending on what you're looking for. Not my "cup of tea", but I could see how some will enjoy it due to it's good smoking characteristics.

I found this pipe maker and blender on an internet search for American pipe makers. Very Affordable pipes, so i ordered one along with several of his tobaccos. Sweat Tea was the first in my new pipe. This is the best smoking pipe i have and like every southern gentleman, i can't get enough sweet tea.
This tobacco i would call a refreshing smoke. Like the desription details, "mildly citrus and sweet taste." I also liked DakotaPeacePipe's description as "almost clean and crisp." I will recommend this aeromatic to all the pipes in Arkansas.
GO Hogs!!
edit. I GOT ENOUGH!! To much of an artificial taste here.
