Looks like a pretty fine shop.
Blends tried so far are Northwoods, Countryside, Dan's, and Military Force were all pretty decent.
I did not care for the Imperial English which did not seem to fit the description at all.
Those who have compared Northwoods to Frog Morton, is a total Non Sequitur to me. I do not find it anywhere near similar. Their Va Per is on the list to try.
They seem to like adding Cavendish to a lot of their English blends which adds a sweet undertone. The Dan's is an all day Virginia that is very fragrant out of the package. Very neutral and smokable.

I'm a fan of Military Force. It's in the Northwoods family, with less sweetness and a fantastic pine note that makes for a great smoke. If you like more sweetness than Northwoods (and much more than MilForce), Countryside is your blend.

I hear great things about their aromatics, a fella sent me a jar of their Pennsylvania Dutch Treat, but I've not yet had a chance to smoke it nor tried anything other than their English blends so far.

I am partial to Private Stock. Fine Virginias.

Private stock is well balanced VaPer; and Old School is a great Burley blend.

Fine folks over there. Just placed an order over the phone with them a couple days ago.

Love their aromatics such as Berry Cobbler, Sweet and Mild, and Raspberry Cream.

I love their pipes! I’m not a huge fan of their blends though.

Pennsylvania Dutch Treat is one of my favorites, and not just for taste and aroma. My in-laws immigrated to Canada after the war and settled in Ontario working on a pig farm. In time they bought some land in middle of nowhere and started a landscape nursery. I always remember the tale that my mother in law was upset at her husband because on way home with their 1st new vehicle he stopped and bought new piglet. The pig got to sit in the new car before my mother in law!! Tale always got a lot of laughs. Hope you find the blend as enjoyable.

My favorite Boswell blend

Only one I've ever tried is No-Bite Delite (sic), courtesy of a forum member's batch of samples. This one's a winner, not to mention true to its name!

I am down to try the Va Per on my next order. Looking forward to see how this one compares to my usual pick since this style is the first thing I reach for in the morning, strangely enough. I like it first thing.

Nothing wrong with a solid VaPer to start the day!
