Smells great in the pouch like a fresh, vanilla cupcake from a bakery, but that's it. Huge aromatic fan here, but it tastes like the plastic wrapping around a vanilla cupcake that's been lit and melted. Very chemical tasting and unpleasant room note that tastes like burnt plastic and death. I'm not sure why some people like this one. Boswell's P&T are usually amazing but this is painful. I smelled someone lighting up crack cocaine once and it tastes like the chemical way that smells, like an industrial fire. Sorry Boswell. Finishes like ash and powdered sugar and a bunch of Walmart bags lit on fire with lighter fluid. Probably the worst aromatic I've ever had (I have literally hundreds in a walk-in humidor). Burns nicely though and only took 1 light in Boswell fashion perfection otherwise. Wish it didn't taste like grandma's old '70s plastic beach foot sandal. Ghosted my clothes in a cloying cupcake sort of way that is suspicious and a lie to the taste.
After some consideration, it reminds me of white cake mix with no moisture, just the mix, eaten dry, and washed-down with powdered sugar.. and plastic.

This was a big let down.
I’d put off trying any Boswell products for a long time, though looked forward to the eventuality thanks to so many glowing reviews. I was aware of accusations that Boswell is simply reselling Lane blends as their own, as many tobacconists do, or blending existing Lane products to create new ones, but figured I should judge for myself. The accusations may as well be true.
If you like the propylene glycol profile of Lane or Sutliff products, you might enjoy this.
I do not. I smoked half a bowl and threw it in the trash.

Preparation & Burn: 6/10 A bit damp. Cheap course cut. Burns average, no bite. A few re-lights required.
Taste: 1/20 Artificial sweetness. Pure fake sugar, no tobacco.
Mildness: 10/10 My idea of a good smoke is a relaxing, low nicotine session. Therefore, the milder the better. I barely detect any nicotine here. But I'm pretty sure there's no tobacco in here either.
Total: 17/40

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
