There looks to be more than one variety of Virginia in this blend. Pouch appearance of black cavendish, along with light and medium brown tobaccos. Cut is uniform, no chunks or twigs found in my 2 oz. Some state this is a sticky blend, but even when pressed between the finger, it does not stick together, nor leave you with sticky fingers.
While the description doesn't state exactly what "food flavorings" are used, there is a definite heavy cherry aroma. Followed by a resemblance of Berry Cobbler topping, with a coconut note in the background. I am super curious what is in here!!
Loading and packing is par for the course with Boswell's.
Initial flavors are definitely cherry. The berry Cobbler note is there as well. There is a floral note in the background, something I've never experienced in a Boswell blend. This one seemed to get a little warm on my tongue at times.
This blend contains quality leaf, has the most excellent room note, and burns well. But it's just so similar to many other aros they offer.
If there is one thing to be said about J.M, he loves to use Cherry and Vanilla flavorings. Again, another solid 3-star aromatic.

Well this is another very mild aromatic from Boswell. There is a slight cherry flavor from the bag and during the smoke. This also leaves a nice taste in your mouth. This is a pleasing smoke but don't expect a lot of flavor or taste. Burns pretty cool for an aromatic and burns very clean. I am not a huge cherry fan but this is about the best cherry aro I have ever smoked. If you like cherry aromatics you really need to give this one a shot.

Quite a delightful little blend. I'm an aromatic smoker but I don't like the heavily cased aromatics. I tend to shy away from Virginias because they tend to leave a nasty taste in my mouth, so I'm not in love with this blend, but it's actually quite a great light aromatic. Room note is nice and balanced... not great, but good... really a nicely balanced blend here. I don't find as much of the sweetness and I have no gurgle or goop like others report. Maybe cellaring this blend a year is the trick.. it was PERFECT right out of the jar.
The sweetness isn't overpowering, in fact it's not all that strong at all. It's there if you're looking for it, but doesn't jump out at you the way most of Boswell's aromatics do. The Virginia flavor comes through a bit which is nice. Burns well and stays flavorful to the end of the bowl (probably because of the Virginia tobacco). It starts kind of flat and mild and then builds a little bit.
I'd say this is a great tobacco for someone who is looking to transition from sweet heavily flavored aromatics into more natural flavors. It's a great balance between the two.

Being that this blend of boswell's has not been reviewed yet, I thought I would order a sample of it when I bought my last boswell pipe. I was kinda wondering what J.M. was up to with this blend as it states he adds a "sweet concoction of food flavorings" to the blend. I don't know if he experiments with these flavors or if they remain constant, but when I lit this blend it said one thing to me....CHERRY!! A very mild cherry at that. Nothing really jumped out at me and I was looking real hard for whatever else might be in this blend. I have tried almost all of boswells blends, and this one is a mild version of P.A dutch treat I would say. Not alot going on other than a very mild blend with a fairly decent room note. If your looking for a mild blend with a hint of cherry....give it a try!

Have gone through about an ounce of this the last couple days and I like it. The combination of the Va. bright leaf and the dark Cavendish burley put me in mind of Half and Half from days past. It has some cherry flavor when smoked but I get mostly the two predominant tobaccos at all times. I also seem to get a bit of anise, be it there or not. Burns clean with no goop and burns cool. Another fine blend from Boswell.

I will get more of this soon because adding about 10% of this to any good black cavendish with make an excellent flavor. On it's own Sweat Dreams isn't a great tobacco. But take my humble advice and try mixing this in with Raspbery Cream or some other black cav and it will taste great.
