Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Majestic 586
(3.06)
A blend of toasted cavendish with some burleys and broad cut Virginias with a satisfying sweet taste. Dark tobaccos contrast with the golden yellow of Virginia. While smoking, the taste mellows and remains very rich until the end with out losing any of its personality. Especially good on relights.

This is an OK tobacco, just a wee bit too mild for my tastes. Not too much going for it strength wise, and very mild on the flavor. This was one of the only aro'tobacco that tastes better as it smokes down and on relights. Seems to taste and look like the 'nobite delite' except with a different/less topping. No bite to it at ALL just like the rest of bosewells stuff although it can heat up if you puff away at it trying to taste something.
. This would only get two stars if not for the amazing room note--It brought back memories from when I was a kid and first smelled pipesmoke, you know, that smell that is intoxicating and smells so amazing from 50 feet away that it made you want to smoke a pipe as soon as you were old enough. The taste is a-lot like captainblack, maybe a bit more burley/vanilla taste to it. Might order more of this in the future so I have something I can smoke in public or just puff away mindlessly while working on the car ect. If you love aromatics then you need to give this one a try, like the reviews before me "you wont regret it"
If you are a beginner and reading this, then don't hesitate to try any of the Bosewell's tobacco. Its all 10x better than Drugstore brands and are extremely forgiving (puff as hard and fast as you want!)

Majestic 586 doesn't have good tobacco flavor or aromatic flavor. Not a bad tobacco just not much flavor. Good pouch smell and aroma though. Two stars only.

If this isn't, in fact, a 50/50 blend of Lane 1-Q and BCA it looks, smokes and smells exactly like it. A great mild yet satisfying smoke with an excellent room note. Of course, you can buy Lane 1-Q and BCA in bulk and make it yourself for less than the $2.70 an ounce price tag.

To the extent of my experience, Boswell does not blend bad tobaccos. Some are more appealing to me than others, so any review is subjective by definition. Majestic 586 is not my style. I did not purchase it; it was sent to me as a sample with a pipe purchase. End disclaimer.
Majestic 586 is a complex aromatic. There are layers of flavor that seem to increase and diminish in prevalence through the bowl. Therefore, it is never boring, as I found myself wondering what the next sip would bring. It is sweet in all cases. It yields a thick, light smoke. The room note is pleasant.
The light was easy, the burn was even, and I did not have to relight if uninterrupted. In three bowls and three different pipes, I found no excess moisture, no gurgle, and used just one cleaner prior to a relight after putting the pipe down for several minutes to answer a phone call.
If you like aromatics, you should try Majestic 586. I am not that guy, but even as an English blend smoker, I have nothing negative to say.

Nice! Richer than I expected. Smells like traditional pipe tobacco. Stays lit. 2/3 through bowl, not sure about taste. Tastes progressively worse. Coffee should mask it.

This is one of my favorite Boswell blends. You can taste all the tobaccos and not just the flavorings. But the blend does seem to grow better with every relight! I did find an occasional relight necessary, but that was a pleasure. The blend improves the longer you smoke it and grows in richness of flavor, while still remaining pleasantly mild and bite-free. The room note is very pleasant and should please non-smokers as well as smokers. I echo what the previous reviewer of this blend said: Try it! You will not regret it; I certainly did not. Kudos to J.M.

The Boswell Boys have another winner here! Very smooth smoke and tastes wonderful! The relights although not many are amazing! Try this - you will not regret it!
