Boswell's Blends

[oldmaus]

Hi Guys,

I want to eventually try some of the Boswell blends. What are "must try" blends that they sell.

I like both aromatics and latakia blends and am interested in the recommendations that anyone has.

Northwoods is your must try English blend

Christmas Cookie is your must try aromatic
But I would recommend calling Dan up there and have him put together some 1 ounce or 2 ounce sampler bags that contain, Sweet Tea, Bear Blend, Boswell's Best, Hunter's Choice, and Mild English.

Hobie is right....have them put together a number of small "samplers"....as far as english is concerned, Magnum blend is my personal favorite and as far as the aromatics go, I think Sweet & Mild is really nice (I wish they'd change the name.).... :laughat:

For me my personal favorites are Christmas Cookie and Sweet Tea.

I talked to Boswell's and ordered all of the suggested tobaccos plus a couple more.

They should come to me on Tuesday. I am looking forward to that day!

Darn, it was a year ago that he posted this, and no response from him, hope he didn't get some bad "weed" 8O

Boswell's Best is really good. It's like 1Q on steroids.

 

[hawk60ce]

oooo can't wait to try that one. i think i ordered it...

 

[thbg]

I smoke BB pretty regularly. It is like 1Q, but has more bolder, defined flavor and burns much drier and cooler.

Man Northwoods is awesome! I really enjoy latakia blends and this is the only blend with the leaf that does not bite me at all. Very smooth.

Reviving this one. When I received my pipes from the Free Pipes Project that Dave is running, he also sent me a couple different ounces of some of Boswell's tobacco. I like them both a lot and have been thinking about buying more. Have any of you tried their stuff and have any recommendations?

Holy Necro-Thread!
The original advice stills stands 7 years hence. Boswell's does aromatics well and their Northwoods and Countryside are well regarded English blends. Northwoods is a heavier Lat blend of the two... Another blend worth checking out is their Premium Burley if you enjoy mild burley blends (think Uhle's 00 or Carter Hall).

+1 on Northwoods (became my winter smoke last year). I have a small tin of Countryside I need to pop.
I'm a few hours drive from their original location in PA, happened to make it once while passing through to OH. Great experience, wish I could have stayed all morning and chatted up the other pipers and staff. They're doing it right!

Northwoods and Countryside are staples for me at this point and I really like bear blend...I don't smoker aromatics as much and I have the aromatic sampler from them and really only have tried bear and Boswell's best so far.

Okay, you've sold me. In addition to some other items I want to pick up, I might just get a few ounces of each of Northwoods and Countryside. Their pipes don't seem to be priced too badly either. It's poking at my PAD really bad while trying to get my TAD fixed.
