This is premium tobacco. From the time I lit my bowl, until I reached the bottom was excellent smoking. The whole bowl tasted the same from beginning to end. No scorched taste, no tongue bite, no Nic hit just pure good premium tobacco smoking that burns to a white ash. The taste and feel of Cup Cake, at least to me has the perfect taste and moisture. It's 40-45% moist/55-60% dry. The taste and smell is buttercream, not over powering, but the presents is strongly there. If you smoke it slow and easy all of the flavors and a medium sweetness will hit you in a great way. This is on my always buy 8 ozs list, PERIOD!!! I also bought from Boswell, but I haven't made a review yet is Christmas Cookie, Berry Cobbler, Piper's Pleasure, Black Cherry, & Northwoods(English). I highly recommend this to you if you like aromatics and sweetness in your smoke. I hope this review finds you. Stay tuned for the reviews above.

Very mild taste. I did not get super sweetness that others mentioned, then again I smoked this from the Holiday Sampler set so it came to me in a 1oz baggy. The sample was not sticky or goopy, it was moist and loose and did not clump when pinched together.

Sweet, a little like glaze or a little lick of icing. There was no bite and it burns slowly. Several relights, even after allowing it to air for 30 minutes. The only moment I tasted "ash" was when my bowl got too low and I sipped a little ash. In general, sip this slowly because it helps the flavor be more noticeable because it is very light.

The smell is pleasant and very light. I asked two people if they could smell me smoking - one person said they smelled nothing just "something a little sweet" while the other said, "something smells like frosting, is that you?!" The smell did not linger and cleared afterwards. It does not leave your clothes or hair smelling "cigarette smoky" it's more like a light sweetness that reminds of powered sugar.

I recommend this for newer smokers especially because it doesn't bite. Personally, I wish the taste was sweeter and stronger.

The bag note was very promising extremely aromatic great cupcake smell. For me this was the beginning of the end. I packed my pipe using the frank method, Smoking a white elephant briar pipe no filter. I found the tobacco very difficult to light, and the tobacco that I received had large chunks of Cavendish. After three lights I remembered why I stopped smoking aromatics, I found the tobacco harsh and even with very gentle puffing using the breath method it was still harsh and biting. The flavors were very subtle as the tongue bite was the forward flavor. I was able to taste them but only barely. I had to relight the bowl numerous times even though the bowl was not overpacked. As good as their honey roast is as an aromatic, I found this blend equally disappointing. For those that like this blend I am happy for you. Sincerely

From the extraordinary kitchen of JM Boswell, presenting the sinfully delicious, aromatically iced dessert blend, scrumptious Cupcake. A sweet course of 100% Cavendish capaciously layered in all that good stuff that Mom used. As genuine has the recipe is there is no way a man created this one.

“Happy Birthday Me” joyfully sounded in my ears as the fragrant celebration of succulent additives paraded with exciting delight. Overpowering a dash of native zest, brilliant buttercream, vanilla, sugary spice, caramel, and “cakely” marvel generously carols from the pouch, suitable to tantalize even the most discreet nose, no joke. This blend carries the lip-smacking air of those wonderful confetti Angel Food cakes; yum!

Lighting the candle, the boldness and charm of flavor does not disappoint. Boswell has created a blend that is truly expressive of every ingredient. A sweet buttery cake note stands proud relished in a meld of frosty cream, smooth vanilla-caramel, as it swirls enjoyably over some low sugary, smoky Cavendish.

I was moved by how well the pouch note transferred through to the taste profile. If you ever wonder what it would like to smoke a cupcake, then indulge in this mixture. No questions on having seconds here. Incidentally, this blend brings additional excellence by holding its flavor for practically the entire bowl. The Cavendish does pull a little forward near the end, but what a consistently flavored treat!

A light aromatic and sweet fragrance offering a hint of native earthly Cavendish spice provides the room note accompaniment. Its characteristically toasty, pleasant, and modest in its demeanor. The wife had no problems with Cupcake circulating about the Family Room as we watched The Outlander. Mild in strength/intensity, Cupcake obliges a relaxing after-dinner entertainment with its cool and even burn.

If you clueless to my most humble assessment up to this point, let me clearly state that I believe Boswell offers an irrefutably superior feel-good blend with this entry of Cupcake. Okay so that’s a subjective opinion not ideally befitting for an objective review. Who cares when its cake? Grab a glass of cold milk and fire up a bowl, you won’t be disappointed with the sweet baked goodness of this dandy. Happiness is only a cupcake away after all; trust me! 3.4 Pipes

As a newer pipe smoker, I am mainly exploring the different blends (I favor aromatic blends, although I am dipping my toes into the non-aromatic blends now) to find what I like. Opening the tin, what I smelled was cupcake!!! I wanted to take a bite of the tobacco just because of the smell (didn't but its that good)! The flavor I tasted was creamy vanilla, spices. I did not have any tounge-bite with this blend.
