Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Bear Blend
(3.40)
Bear Blend - A very bold smoke. Cherry caramel tasting tobacco that our good friends John & Bill blended here at our store along with Dan. Together they captured the complexity and full bodied flavor of the blended premium tobaccos. The result will dazzle your senses.

I received this for Christmas along with other samples of Mr Bosswells blends. I have found this to be a smooth Aromatic with hints of caramel and cherry and a slight hint of Latakia. I think this is a wonderful blend for all day. It is not to strong and therefore can be enjoyed in any pipe large or small . With a beautiful room note you want be disappointed . A very pleasant smoke even for the most seasoned smoker. Great job well done !

This is an excellent blend - the best of the Boswell aromatics, in my opinion. Very full-flavored, with hints of caramel and cherry, alongside real, quality tobacco taste. Dump the Molto Dolce and get a few ounces of Bear Blend.

Id agree with a previous poster stateing that this is a "crossover" blend. It has the spicy notes of an english but is also an aromatic. I dont think its for me though, Im glad I orderted two ounces and will happily smoke all of it. Ill order an ounce from time to time but wont keep it in my normal rotation.

This is a very interesting "cross over blend" for those of you who are not quite satisfied with an aromatic, but cant go with a full English blend.
J.M. Boswell has some of the finest tobacco's on the planet with regards to quality and taste. Bear Blend lights up easily, and smokes relatively cool all the way down with wonderful flavors of cherry and carmel with a hint of Latakia for good measure. The room note is simply wonderful with great comments from everyone around. In fact its the only blend my wife does not object to me smoking in our home.
I discovered this blend a few years ago, after sampling several of Boswell's aromatics. I wanted someting more substantial, but was not, and still not ready to go the full english route. There was a point where I could not get enough of this stuff, until I discovered Shortcut to Mushrooms, and Pipemakers Choice. It remains in my permanent rotation, and never lets me down. Highly recommend with four stars.

The Bear Blend from Boswell is a good smoke from start to finish. The smoke is mild with a light sweetness and earthy taste. The aromas are full and sweet smelling. If the tobacco is stored correctly, it does not require a relight many times. I recieved a shipment and it was in great condition, humidity was perfect! Overall, I have smoked plenty of Boswell Tobaccos, and this is my favorite so far. Consistent, good quality, mild a pleasureable smoke!

I ordered 4 boswell blends recently- Bear blend, christmas cookie, Penn dutch treat, and northwoods. After smoking about an ounce of all 4, one thing i noticed was how cool all the blends smoke with bear blend being the coolest smoking tobacco. Lit up well and stayed lit throughout the whole bowl. Smoked fairly dry as well. Left no aftertaste at all. I highly recommend this blend to anyone looking for a very finely crafted tobacco. Boswell's sure has it down!
