Just like every other aromatic I’ve tried of Boswell’s, the topping is what you smell as soon as you open the pouch/tin. This one is very pleasant. I’m always afraid when buying a new aromatic that the topping will smell or taste completely artificial, but the berry note here is very natural, and backed up with a heavy scent of vanilla. Upon the charring light though, there is instantly a toasted gold Cavendish taste and smell, which remains present throughout the smoke. The berry and vanilla taste and smell never go away, and retain a strong presence throughout the bowl. A perfect “dessert” smoke or Saturday morning smoke for the porch swing and a cup of Joe. This can burn hot, even with a slow cadence, and burns quite wet, especially in a deep bowl. Drying out beforehand helps quite a bit. I have not noticed any “ghosting” with this like some aromatics.
There is no nicotine to speak of. This may not even take the edge off if you are having a craving, but the flip side is that you could easily smoke this all day if you want. This and Cupcake are my favorite aromatics from Boswell’s.
As a side note, if you order this in a bag rather than a tin, the berry smell will get into any other bagged tobacco during shipping. Airing the tobaccos out in separate areas/rooms got everything back right again.

I got a one ounce bag of this and found it today packed in behind other blends. Thought I would give it a try. Typically I find most Boswell aromatics pretty good but usually come up short in the taste department. This blend is no different. Has a decent tin note with a light aroma of raspberry. Lights up easy and you get an immediate taste of fresh raspberries but that quickly goes away. Then you get a very light sweet taste that I can't identify that comes and goes. At the end of the smoke Burns fairly cool with a little bite especially near the end of the smoke. I find Boswell mixes about the best non-aromatic blends out there but their aromatics are about on par with everyone else. Frankly this is an average aromatic. To be fair I prefer full tasting aromatics of which there are very few so for those who like lite mild tasting aromatics this blend may be right down your alley. What taste you receive is good and it stays with YOU throughout the entire smoke.

This blend has more of a sharp or tart type of raspberry taste to me. As with all Boswell blends it is pretty good. The flavor hangs around for a while after the pipe is finished and i like that. This is one I may keep a little on hand to enjoy every now and then. I will definitely be trying this one again in the summer time because I think it will be more enjoyable at that time. Regardless it's still a solid 3 star blend.

Rough cut black cavendish with just a few coppery ribbons.
Smell in the pouch is pleasant in that artificial raspberry casing kind of way.
The taste is neither offensive nor remarkable. On the one hand, there is no nastiness (as in Berry Cobbler); but, on the other hand, there isn't much real tobacco taste, or anything else to commend it. I did not taste the raspberry at all.
It's fine--certainly not something I'd steer you away from--but nothing I'd direct you to either.

If you are a once a week pipe smoker, who is looking to smoke in public, than this is an acceptable choice. Mild, no bite and nice raspberry/cookie scent for the first half of the bowl. Sour Burley (they say Cavendish) is the taste, even after 6 months of cellaring. I tried to like this, but, it reminded me too much of those drug store aromatics. Ghosts the pipe with raspberry real bad. Will not buy again, ( guess I can't get into aromatics, although "Blue Note" isn't bad,so I don't hate them all)

This one has a great room note of sweet and tangy berries, but it was hard to keep lit and to my taste the flavor is pretty flat. It does have the great Boswell 'no-bite' characteristic, unless you tug it real hard to try and get more flavor out of it. I would say 4 stars for the people in the room enjoying the aroma, but just 2 stars for the person smoking it. If you really like aromatics, go ahead and give it a whirl, but be sure to order some Christmas Cookie from Boswell while you're at it - CC has the heavenly room note and is a more enjoyable smoke.

I just got this from Boswell with Bear blend, as well as Christmas Cookie. Having tried Berry Cobbler before, I think this one tops it.
The taste is much more mild than berry cobbler and the flavoring isnt as artificial.
Smokes cool, Leaves no sticky residue, and has what I believe to be a better room note than most any other berry aromatic.
Girlfriend only likes this and Christmas cookie as blends to be around.

Aroma significantly Raspberry. Better than Lane Black Raspberry and I like Lane. I am not experienced to tell you all the smoke jargon.
Smells, tastes and burns great.

I don't usually smoke fruity aros, I'm more of a vanilla-chocolate-coffee flavor guy. This blend is delicious. Dark creamy raspberry, mild chocolate, a hint of tobacco. It works. Burns well, no bite, and flavor lasts till the end. By second bowl it became a top three aro for me. Gonna buy a boat load for the apocalypse. --Edit-- So one disappointment that cost a star: the raspberryflavor/ aroma flashes off quickly. Two weeks after opening and jarring, the raspberry has faded to a basic modern cavendish. As long as you smoke the tin in a couple weeks it's fine, but I expect aros to last a little longer.
