A little preface, I always recommend smoking Boswell blends fresh. They do not hold their topping/casing more than a few weeks. Which tells me they aren't loaded with synthetic ingredients. Kudos to Boswell!
Pouch aroma: Almost chocolate cherry cordial, with a hit of alcohol. I personally do not detect much nuttiness, except maybe a very faint hazelnut.
Appearance: Comprised of three prominent shades of tobacco, thick ribbon cuts that do not appear to ever have been a broken flake as stated. Moisture content perfect, as most Boswell blends are.
Packing/lighting/smoking: Packs nice with a bit of spring, initial light swells past the rim. Tamp and relight, your ready to settle in. very minimal relights needed throughout the entire bowl.
Flavors are mostly flavored burley, with Va's in the background. the Cavendish doesn't offer much natural sweetness, but it helps round off the sharp burley flavor. The chocolate cherry aroma transfers to the smoke. Some Hazelnut peeks through, but the natural tobacco flavor makes up most of the palate on this tobacco. This would be a great tobacco for burley smokers looking to please a crowd. Never hints at biting, and doesn't get harsh at the end. puffed at a moderate pace, this tobacco stay true until the end. Due to it requiring very little attention, this would be a great tobacco choice for road trips where you need to be paying attention to the road, not your pipe.
Just remember smoke this fresh. If your an occasional aromatic smoker like I am, consider buying the minimum 2 ozs.

I tried this blend in a new pipe I picked up at JM's shop last week...it's a delightful change of pace tobacco from my diet of straight VA's, VaPer's and English blends. Each member of this blend provides its distinctive tastes and complimentary flavors from the Burley and Cavendish AND then, just as you relax with the smoke, the sweet taste of Virginia comes curling through periodically as a surprise. Lites easily, easy on the tongue, and remains lit without re-lites and burns with a dry, clean ash.

Another good blend from the Boswell family. This was tried immediately from the package over the 2014/ 2015 holiday season. Came a bit moist so drying time is recommended for best results, as this was experienced over the last few months. Out of the package the blend has a nutty/ caramel scent that transfers over in the taste department. IMO, it's similar to Half and Half if not a bit sweeter and slightly less nutty. No bite but i treated the blend gently in the pipe. Leaves dootle so air it out for a better experience. Not my favorite blend from Boswells but likable and will buy more in the future. Recommended!

Not too strong nor is it too weak.Lighted very easy and so far have not had any re-lights.I found it has a very well balanced yet nutty flavor.The burley and cavendish seem to pop but neither are over-powering.The wife doesn't mind me smoking this while we watch the tube which is a plus. I would highly recommend this blend to anyone.I will be ordering alot more very soon.

This is another decent blend from Boswell that while it falls into the aromatic catagory could be a decent American blend. There is some sweetness there perhaps some grassy flavor as well. Boswell is a great blender and while this is far from my favorite it is still a good blend that most folks would enjoy.
