Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Countryside

Countryside is our medium English blend. A Virginia base with Latakia and select Orientals. It is a delicious, smooth-bodied blend with no tongue bite. A wonderful balance for an enjoyable all-day smoke.

Boswell's Countryside is a solid American or Crossover english. The Latakia is prevalent but does not over power the more delicate Orientals. I enjoy smelling this tobacco as much as I do smoking it. Vitamin N to me is right in the middle and is most noticeable at the bottom of the bowl.

It's not what I would call an all day smoke but a great English crossover on the more mild side. It's in my rotation for now.

It gets 3.75 stars from me

This is a nice English blend put together by BP&T. This has a nice balance that allows you to enjoy the smoke. If you get worn out on the heavy latakia blends and need a mellower note, this may be it. If you're an aro fan looking to bridge over and find your way toward English - have at this one. This is an enjoyable smoke that is hard to complain about. It has balance and fills a gap in the genre. Based on other reviews you can see where it fits. Love my Northwoods, Night Cap, Potlatch, and Squadron Leader - I find no complaints with this one. It is a nice smoke and I'll recognize it for what it is, another fine Boswell blend.

Love both Countryside and Northwoods, it just depends on what type of mood I'm in and Bacci qualities I'm looking for; CS more of a subtle sweetness where NW there is none...Both great blends from Boswell, grab some!

This was my first English and I've been smoking it for a couple of months now. I have since tried several other English blends, most of which I have grown to appreciate. But I keep coming back to Countryside. It is a really nice and fairly light English. Seems to be really well balanced. No tongue bite to speak of. Just enough latakia to know its there. If you're just getting around to smoking English blends then give Countryside a try. It won't disappoint.

Another winner from JM Boswell, His newest English, Countryside. Its stronger than his Mild English but still retains smoothness. Its a VA base with Lat and some Oriental leaf, lights easily and the room note is tolerable for a Lat blend. Its a bit lighter than his Northwoods Countryside is full enough to satisfy regular Latakia smokers yet smooth enough for those looking to try a true English blend. This will be a regular in my rotation

The bag note really confused me on this blend. All I was smelling was the cavendish It smelled so sweet that I went and smelled some straight Latakia just to make sure my nose was still functioning properly especially after all the other reviews. After lighting it things changed completely I smoke mainly English blends many from Wilkie , most are heavy Latakia so my expectations were probably a bit skewed. Defiantly an all day smoke. All the flavors come out in this Latakia, oriental, Virginia and cavendish. It is a very balanced smoke. I don't get the Latakia forward it has some sweetness as I suspect this is the Virginia. Only one light was required dry ash at the finish. Smoked in a Paronelli that has only seen English. If you like light English this is a great one. Sincerely. Update on this review The blend picks up lot of flavor and sweetness after the 1/2 way point.
