This is a blend that surprized me how much I liked it and keep going back for more. I really can't describe the flavor or aroma...it is so different than other aromatics I've tried. It's mild yet medium bodied and flavored. It's a little fruity, a little earthy, a little zesty. It has a unique character to it that I really can't put my finger on but it's a nice once in a while smoke. I like it later in the day. It's not sweeter like most Boswells, yet it has a lot going on. It's one to go easier on, it has a little bite to it and burns warmer.
I wish I can better describe this blend, but I can't. It's good, and I like it for a change of pace. It's a blend to just take it for what it is...it's outside the box of my usual sweeter or vanilla based aromatics.

Dang this smells amazing! Rich buttery rum aroma, with a slight vanilla undertone. The medium brown cavendish and black cavendish is uniformly cut, with no twigs or chunks to speak of. Boswell's take their QC seriously!
Moisture average for a Boswell blend, maybe just a bit more on the moist side. Packs well, but does take more than the average matches to get it started. This burns fairly well, offers up a good rum flavor and aroma, but its extremely mild. Great hot weather blend, and suitable for road trips. This is perfect for indoor smoking, as the room note is very enjoyable.
Due to the mildness and single dimensional profile, it's not my favorite Boswell blend, but still a solid tobacco base with quality flavoring

First, I am not an aromatic fan. I was sent a sample of Rum River with the purchase of a pipe from Boswell.
Curiosity compelled me to load a bowl, and I was surprised. I did not find Rum River objectionable. Too often flavorings are overwhelming, but beyond the pouch aroma being reminiscent of a bakery, that was not the case here. While I am unlikely to purchase this tobacco, I would be comfortable in recommending it to those who smoke aromatic blends. My ratings are based on my own preferences only.
