Boswell Northwoods

[PApiper63]

Just smoke my first few bowls of Boswells Northwoods. It is a great tobacco and so easy to smoke. Im curious if anyone else has tried Northwoods and would like to hear your thoughts.

One of my favorites too. Great blend from great people. I never leave their shop without a few ounces of it.

It is my favorite full-bodied English blend, just edging out Peterson Nightcap. I intend to keep it stocked in my cellar. It is smooth, deep, and rich and quite tasty to my palate. Has a bit of cedar in the tin note.

 

[RL Bucktails]

I like it, flavorful and very smooth.

I enjoy it as an aromatic. It isn't super complex. I wish it had some Oriental content. Probably my favorite aromatic, but I don't smoke those often.

I blend it 50/50 with Bos Railroad Station. Their Countryside and Titus blends as are also quite good.

It was one of the first blends I fell in love with.

 

[Manawydan]

I’ve recently had a strange desire to try a 50/50 blend with Boswell’s Best …

 

[greysmoke]

Yes, it's a good tobacco, but I agree with the comment above that it's not a complex blend. It's enjoyable, but there are others I'd reach for first.

I found the cut was hard to get lit. Kinda chunky. It was also a bit wet. But the flavour is good, consistent, and simple. Nothing too complex.

Have we tried Boswell's Northwoods tobacco?? You gotta be kidding people here. The Virginia only smokers don't but the rest of the place smokes that tobacco incessantly.

 

[hoipolloiglasgow]

Yeah, honestly I don't see what the big deal is about it. I'd much rather smoke a lakeland cross-over or just go for a regular English over it.

 

[Butter Side Down]

I like it a lot. It reminds me of the original Frog Morton which was the first pipe tobacco I ever lit up.

I think a lot of people under rate it because it's a crossover blend and they think of that genre as something that you're supposed to mature out of. And maybe that's true for them. But I've tried a lot of lat blends... probably 50 or more, including old Balkan Sobranie, Bohemian Scandal, and Penzance, and I still like Northwoods about as much as any of them. To be honest, I don't smoke it all that often, but when I have the craving, absolutely nothing else will do.
