Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Christmas Cookie

If you like sweeter aromactics this is definitely for you. I don't taste any alcohol in the flavoring personally. To me, it's like smoking a sugar cookie. It's one aromatic that tastes pretty much like it smells. The tobacco taste is very light and in the background. The room note is excellent. A must try if you like this style.

This is a GREAT blend when you are in the mood for nice sweet flavors and just good quality bacci...get some for change ups

This is allright but I'm calling the nicotine medium. A little strong for me. Berry Cobbler has much better flavor, is smoother, and has much less nictoine kick.

Raspberry Cream was a big disappointment. Harsh and not smooth. Berry Cobler was good, Majestic 586 was ok, and sweet dreams very similar to these. I may be sampling other Boswells to see what else I like.

UPDATE: Running low on tobacco I tried this again. Wow! This is an excellent aromatic. Great tobacco flavor and aro flavor. Nicotine is medium which is the only drawback for me. Burns well and lasts longer than some other aro's that I use.

This is my favorite smoke with a morning coffee. Second favorite aromatic.

I love this blend. The taste and smell remind me of butterscotch. I could probably smoke this all day long!

After an entire ounce of this blend I've come to the conclusion that this is my favorite blend to date. It has a light vanilla taste that's faint, noticeable but not overwhelming. The room note is amazing as well. As you all know you can't really smell your own tobacco right away but my friend was smoking CC in the truck with me and I couldn't get over how great it smelled. My girlfriend even likes it which says a lot. Overall this is a great all day smoke that won't bite, won't overwhelm, and will draw the ladies from miles around with its amazing aroma.

One of my favorite aromatics. Many pipe smokers who dislike aromatics don't care for them because, while they have a nice room note, they often are lacking in flavor (i.e. the smell good in the pouch and in the air but taste like hot air). Such is certainly not the case with this blend. Boswell produces some of the best tasting aromatics on the market, and this one is no exception.

It starts with a vanilla flavor that doesn't hide the nutty tobacco undertones. By mid-bowl, much of the vanilla casing has burned away, but the blend still has wonderful flavor, with toasted tobacco flavors playing a stronger role in the second half. The blend burns to a nice, gray ash and requires few relights.

And yes, as others have noted, the room note is phenomenal.

This blend would be part of my regular rotation if I didn't save it as a special holiday treat during cold winter months.

Of every tobacco that I have tried this is my absolute favorite. I find myself several times a day just opening the canister that I have it in just to get a whiff of this absolutely delicious smelling and tasting otherworldly tobacco. I know that aromatics are not every pipe smokers cup of tea but I can't hardly see anybody not liking this blend. J.M. Boswell undoubtly had a wonderful grandmother that made Christmas Cookies and sealed each one with a special kiss, it is the only way to explain how he has the knowledge and ablility to capture the essence of something so delightful and share it with us through a bunch of chopped up tobacco leaves. The complexity of the the flavors is simply awesome.

EXTREME CAUTION!!! Do not get any of this stuff on your forehead because your tongue will slap your brains out trying to lick it off.

By the way; If I did not make myself clear - I really like this stuff!!!

Boswell makes good quality blends, and here is another one for the books! Hints of sweet dough and light vanilla are evident in this smoke! Mild to medium flavor, with a very nice aromatic essence, the Christmas Cookie is excellent! My wife actually thought I was baking cookies! Very aromatic, without the bite, that is Boswell to me. Great quality blends all the time! Boswell is one of the best!
