Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Christmas Cookie

An aromatic that smells and taste great! This tobacco, while fairly mild, still delivers a great smoking experience and I would recommend it for any smoker, especially ones that retrohale. Had no problem with keeping this Boswell blend lit and had an enjoyable smoke all throughout the bowl. I can actually taste the Christmas Cookie flavor when I smoke so I'll definitely be ordering more Boswell blends in the near future!

This is the mildest, best tasting, longest to stay lit and no bite tobacco i have ever smoked. The smell is great, the taste is of a quality Cavendish tobacco flavor and a little flavor of the other parts which make it a perfect balance. A must try.

This is another fine Boswell blend. Not quite one of my favorites of theirs but it's a darn good smoke nonetheless. The tobacco has a nice note, burns nice and is pleasant in of itself. I just don't find it quite as interesting or having some of the nuances I am looking for. I can't say I am disappointed because it is better than so many others. I just find it a little lower on the totem poll as far as some of the other Boswell blends I have enthusiastically enjoyed.

Pleasant pouch and room note. But little too weak for my tastes and it got a little bitter toward the botttom of the bowl, but I gave it to my son and he really liked it

Christmas Cookie! when I first received my boswell order this was the first tested, upon opening the bag there was a scent of sugar cookies that sent me back to a Christmas eve dinner. This scent was also similar to a sugar cookie candle so it is a very good smell to the tobacco. Now off to the bowl lite, when I first lit this tobacco I was entranced into the aroma of the sugar cookie like smell. This was lit fresh out of the bag, but after trying it after drying a bit, you really will get the taste of the whiskey in this blend and I find it to be very favorable. I smoked this out of my meerschaum, as well as a couple different briars I own and I actually enjoyed this more out of my briar as opposed to my meerschaum. Im guessing because the briar added a more wood smokey taste along with the whiskey. The room note to this tobacco is very desirable for non smokers and is nice because it is a good tasting tobacco. Although this blend is a bit on the mild side as far as strength. Overall this is a great aromatic out there Boswell is in my top list for aros for sure, cant wait to jump ship and start on the English blends.

Opening a jar of Christmas Cookie I’ve had for just over a year revealed an even mix of rich brown and charcoal black tobacco pieces. It had the smell of alcohol, rich vanilla, and light cocoa. It was a little too moist for my liking so I dried it out some. An unlit sip brought vanilla, dark rum, and notes of molasses and the initial light was all vanilla. I’ve been smoking this blend for years, it never bites, is rich, and the top note does not burn off before the end of the bowl. Rich vanilla flavors, dark rum, and clover honey come through, at times there is a taste of molasses, and sometimes stewed fruit on a nose exhale that is almost prune like. There is a hint of some spice that I can’t grasp, maybe nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, or all three. The room note is excellent and toasty and reminds me of sugar cookies baking on a cold day. This blend also leaves a vehicle smelling toasty and tasty. The finish is long, and the mustache note is most excellent. This is my favorite aromatic of all time, and I would recommend it to anyone who even remotely likes aromatics.

If you want to smoke a Christmas cookie, this is the Go To aromatic for the wintery months. If this sounds like a disgusting time to you, then stop reading this review - this tobacco isn't for you.

HOWEVER, if you are not adverse to aromatics (I'm not - I smoke everything from 1-Q to old 965), then Christmas Cookie from Boswell's is actually pretty darn tasty. The best way to describe it is a batch of sugar cookies just came out of the oven and is cooling on the table. That's how this tastes.

I give is 3 stars because it can really bite you, and it will get wet since it's very cased so it won't ever dry out enough to your liking. Also, I can't smoke this when it's not cold out - it's too strong and the bite only gets worse with the temperature.

I wanted to hate it. The name alone kept me away for some time, but I finally picked some up. This is some good flippin tobacco! I smoked an oz. in 3 days. It is definitely a full aromatic, but it is done the right way. This is one of the very few aromatics that actually holds it's delicious flavor throughout the entire bowl. Most taste like ashy crap by the second half of the bowl, not this one. Flavor is reminiscent of aged vanilla, brown sugar, a drop of spiced rum, and a pinch of something else. Remember what your grandmas kitchen smelled like when she was baking cookies? Yea. Hands down best aromatic I've ever had.

One of the best aromatics to have in your cellar. It does taste of vanilla/sugar cookie, but it is not high on sugar/goopy. But I also get a bit of banana milk shake taste (very subtle though). Packed the pipe using the "rolling pipe in your hand" method. Absolutely no to very little tongue bite. The nicotine kick is very minimal but the flavor is amazing and it has one of the best aftertastes. Very smooth almost till the end of the bowl.

Do give this a try!!
