I'm a little disappointed

[jsharp]

I smoked Boswell's Christmas cookie tobacco today and was disappointed. (Several of you guys seem to love it.) The tobacco had almost no flavor at all, and my wife complained about the bad smell. This is was a surprise since the Berry Cobbler blend is a real winner. I'm going to give it another try, but for now I'm disappointed.

That's likely the first negative review of that blend ever...hey, don't worry about it, everyones different, the amazing part is that it didn't have a good room note. :crazy:

That's odd everyone compliments the smell when I smoke it.

I concur somewhat with my first experience (recent) with Christmas cookie. It seemed pretty

moist so I let it dry some and that may have helped it. Try it in some different pipes and see

what happens. Some blends seem to taste better in certain pipes. I smoked it first in a pipe

that was not broken in and thought "whats the big deal about this?." It was a bit better

subsequently in mainly my cobs. I will still take 1Q anyday.

To clarify the above post better....
I should have pointed out that I smoked a bowl or three as I received it..... straight out of the pouch.

(and was not that impressed)

Then I dried it some after that.

You know.....I'm not surprised.....As time goes on I have learned to appreciate the maxim that we are all different....This is a great reason to never buy more than 2 oz of any tobacco until you try it for yourself..... :?

Well everyone is different. I personally love the taste of Boswells Christmas Cookie and the wife always asks to come into my room when I smoke it because she loves the smell! I agree with Hobie, this is probably the first bad thing I have heard about BCC!

 

[bowhatchie]

Count me as one who loves the taste,and room note one realizes with a a bowl of Christmas cookie... I can understand the taste deal... as mentioned above we all have different tastes... But the bad room note does surprise me...

 

[jsharp]

I gave it another try, this time in my Peterson. The taste seemed a little better, and my wife said the room note was better as well. I really want to like this tobacco. You guys love it so much, I feel like saying anything bad about it is like calling a nun fat and ugly. It's just not something you do. I'm going to keep smoking it. We will see.

 

[bubbadreier]

Hey some nuns are fat and ugly! Now would I tell that to there face...

it`s a very mild areomatic.

Either you like it or you don't. That's the great thing about smoking a pipe, there is a blend out there to suit everyone's taste.

I'm with pipetrucker. Pipe-smoking is a matter of personal choice and taste. I fell in love with Christmas Cookie from my very first bowl but everyone has different tastebuds. Enjoy what you enjoy, avoid what you don't, and don't apologize for your own preferences.
