Boswell Pipes & Tobacco Pom Holiday
(2.82)
Pom Holiday was masterfully created by J.M. in 2009. One of J.M.'s favorite fruit is Pomegranate. J.M. thought last summer, why not a tobacco to enjoy. The blending itself is an art. Harmonizing this tasty Pomegranate fruit with J.M.'s exquisite tobacco formula has made this deliciously mild, yet full of fragrance. It clears the brain and soothes the temper.

A good blend but lacks flavor. It's just ok, nothing special really. Boswell's has other blends that greatly over shadow this one.

Not bad...but not great. My real problem with this blend is that it smells nothing like pommegranate, or vanilla for that matter. Room note is pleasent, but not too noticeable. Overall decent for a fruit aromatic though.

Maybe a little subtitle, but great for relaxing, very little bite, burns well, nice flavor. All Boswells are great. No matter what you like one of their blends will be your favorite.
This is a re-review. AFTER SMOKING OTHER Boswell blends I am rating Pom Holiday a three star. It has more bite than any of the other Boswell blends. There are others I like much better. These choices are very personal but I like those with low bite and are cool smoking. I mostly like the aromatics and after years have narrowed my preferences: Bear blend, Chocolate Cream, Berry Blend, Pennsylvania Dutch Treat. Occasionally I like the English blends and like Northwoods, Countryside, Mild English and will try Train Station next. Maybe in a few years I can narrow it down some more. I plan to give No-Bite Delite another try.
The Boswells are remarkable. The people are as nice as you will find anywhere. I no longer try tobaccos from anywhere else as they always disappoint. Boswell can supply one that you like. For the quality the prices are more than fair.
I have several Boswell pipes, a few new, but most from EBay which I have refurbished with reaming, cleaning, sterilizing and polishing. The Boswell pipes smoke as well as pipes costing five times as much. My dog ate one of my Beloved pipes with severe damage. I sent it for repair and it came back like new—amazing.
Another secret is the other pipes sold by Boswell and elsewhere, and that is Missouri Meershaum. I really like these, especially since it appears they have improved the bit which is thinner and wider, with cushions they are very comfortable, are light, inexpensive, easy to break-in—and smoke as well as the Boswells, just not as beautiful. They spare my beautiful Boswells so I can admire and feel these unique, well made pipes.

This blend was very so-so. The smell of the tobacco was fruity but smoked very bland. This was just missing a bit more flavor to it. The room note was pleasant but Boswells has better aromatics out there. So off to the cellar with this one hope it gains something overtime but sadly aros tend to lose the love over time.
