For those of you that are fans of tobacco from JM Boswell, what are your favorite blends? I live with a couple hours of one of his tobacco shops and I'm going to make a trip in a few days, so I'm looking for some recommendations. I have been there before and picked up some of their samplers but I'm interested in favorite blends from some of my pipe smoking brothers.

A fourth one for Northwoods, but you could also check out Old School which smokes like it sounds, a solid burley Blend. There's also Blend 35, which is another burley, sweeter but not over the top. Route 22 is a good aromatic too.

I've tried just about everything from him.

My favorite Boswells Englishes are Northwoods and Countryside.

My favorite Boswells aromatics are Christmas Cookie and No Bite Delite.

And one Notable Mention: a VaPer called J.M.'s Private Stock. It's got a lot of Red and tangy brightness, but with earthy cocoa notes. Pretty different than anything else I've had. I like it, although it's not something I want all the time.

Northwoods and Hunter's Choice are both great, but my fave is Railroad Station. These blends are about as aromatic as I can get with tobacco TBH, with the only other aro I regularly get being Sillem's Black.

I bought a bunch of two ounce samples from Boswell’s a few years ago. Private Stock was one of them. I stuck it in a jar and never did get to it. Might need to go cellar diving now!

Another vote for Northwoods. I also like No Bite Delight, Paradise and Magnum Blend. However, IMO, they don't age well.
