Revised 7/3/23: After a couple of years of trying all kinds of tobaccos, I settled on English tobaccos as my favorite. The only aromatic I continue to smoke is Davidoff Danish Mixture.
Original review:
A bit too strongly flavored for me. Leaves a lot of deposits in the pipe bowl.
For me, this was a good tobacco for helping me to learn how to taste pipe tobacco, and to properly light a bowl of tobacco. It's great for that because the strong flavor makes it easy to sense when I've used too much flame and overly charred the tobacco, and the sweet flavor is so strong that it makes it easy to sense when I'm getting a good berry flavor.
But for better or worse, I've found that I prefer less assertively flavored tobaccos. I have had the same experience with Sutliff Z92 Vanilla Custard and Boswell Berry Cobbler: Helpful to learn from but just not my cup of tea for smoking regularly thereafter.
A quality product and I can recommend it for someone looking for the stronger flavor. I highly recommend it because it is what it is claimed to be, a full flavored aromatic with berry flavor.
Technique notes: My smoking technique is to focus only on smoking. No reading or work or other distractions. Just enjoying the smoke. Outdoors only. A few bowls per week of pipe smoking. Lightly charring the tobacco initially and with relights. Sipping. Occasional retrohale. Peterson pipe lighter with smallest practical flame. Sometimes a BIC EZ Reach lighter.
Am using a variant of the Frank method to pack a 2/3 full pipe without first putting loose tobacco in the bowl. I just take a wad of tobacco and press it into place Frank-style. Tobacco is stored in OXO POP container with size 60 Boveda 72% pack.
Savinelli 207 smooth is my favorite pipe and favorite pipe design.

Super disappointing. I'm a huge aromatic fan and I found this to have a solid vanilla taste and near zero raspberry note. I really wanted this to be awesome but it's not. I had to check to see if maybe it got miss-labeled? It's a huge crowd-pleaser though, as everyone around liked it. Strong sweet taste and very up-front vanilla. Barely any raspberry taste at all. Strong vague sugar-sweet taste that over-powers anything else.
Standard amazing billows of rich smoke as is normal for BP&T, and again, only 1 lighting start necessary, which is great.
A lot of guys let theirs dry-out a bit before smoking it. Maybe that will help so I'll try it again later that way. Maybe I got a bad batch?
I recommend Sutliff Black Raspberry instead.
UPDATE* ==== Allowed it to dry out a tad and it got rid of the vanilla overdose, but the raspberry flavoring is very very mild and almost non-existent. Still not recommended.

Not really a fan of raspberry blends, but this one is pretty decent. Very sweet, can definitely taste the raspberry. If it wasn't a Boswell blend, then this would likely be one of the top aromatics that whatever brand offers. It's good, but there's plenty more to offer from Boswell that I think tops this one.

Smoked alone, the raspberry flavors are dominant with little of the cream aspects showing up... It definitely needs an extended amount of drying time as it is heavily cased and can be tough to keep lit... Can get bitter towards the end of the bowl...
Where this tobacco shines is when it is dried thoroughly and blended with a vanilla or chocolate aromatic... It tones down some of the sweetness and becomes more enjoyable to me.. Still not my favorite Boswells ( Berry Cobbler) but once dried properly, this is rather nice...

This is a very mild no bite tobacco blend with a little Raspberry taste and a mild room note. It is not my favorite Boswell blend but worth a try. I prefer Hunters Choice, No Bite delight, Pipers Pleasure, and Christmas Cookie.

Well I am new to the pipe so maybe I did not pack it right or something but I had a rough time keeping it. Also it had more bite than some other Boswells I have tried. Still though the room note is great and flavor is the same. Like I said I might have to give it another shot let it sit out a few days and try it again.

I smoked for a long time ago and now I see that i had forgotten in my cellar. After 1 year. is still wonderful. I dont know have people say that is light, for me is a heavy aromatic flavor so strong. Taste is large and nice, notwithstanding than after 1 Year stoped in my cellar, not lost anything, its amazing. Cherry so deep. If you like aromatic or not, try it, this is a different style tobacco that you never see. Deserves 4 stars ****

This is the strongest aromatic I have ever tried, it is really "in your face" style raspberry compared to other aromatics. I think this is because the raspberry naturally has strong flavor. Definatley try this is your a fan of the raspberry, you will not be disapointed. I like the Berry Cobbler more, which has a more complex flavor, one thing I like to do is mix the two blends together, which gives you a very complex, very strong berry flavor.

This one i grew to enjoy, rich razzberry taste with a lite cream omi,a once or three times a day smoke for me a palate pleasure like the nobitedelite, and chistmas cookie, but diffrent because its distinguist taste of razzberry inhale and smooth cream exhale.

After smoking many drug store aromatics and being very dissatisfied I came across a forum post on Boswells tobaccos. So I thought I would give them a shot and boy am I glad I did. I ordered, berry cobbler, raspberry cream and peaches and cream.
Berry cobbler was very good but NOTHING compared to raspberry cream. Simply amazing blend. Tends to burn hot though if youre not careful. Christmas cookie is another perfect blend of sweet tobacco that makes for a fantastic smoke.
