Just wondering if anyone favors any of their blends and if so what ones do you like. Aros? English?

I've had all his English blends and my wife enjoys several of their aromatics. I've never had a bad product or experience from Boswell's.
I’ve only had Cherry Smash and Berry Cobbler. I only smoke aromatics maybe 3-4 times a year so I’m not the best judge, but I like those two. They’re good if you want a straight up sweet fruity aromatic with minimal tobacco flavor.
Excellent blends.
Northwoods, Christmas Cookie, Spice and Nice, Boswell's Best, Piper's Pleasure are all solid smokes.

Northwoods, Piper's Pleasure, Honey Roast, Mild English I ordered back in January and . . . a taste of Imperial English (thanks @Streeper541) - all interesting to me!
I'd say, like anything else, give a little a try and see!

That is how I got started with his blends. I ordered the English sampler for myself and the aromatic sampler gor my wife.
Whenever I get out that way I stop over. You really can't go wrong with Boswell's.
I've smoked Boswell's Pennsylvania Dutch Treat a number of times and it's a very good blend, but I've gotten away from aromatic blends because their just too weak in the nicotine department.
I think I am the odd one on this forum - I hate the way nicotine makes me feel. I would smoke all day if I could avoid nicotine but I need to be careful otherwise my BP spikes and I get all jittery. Never do I smoke late in the evening or I'd never fall asleep. Haunted Bookshop about gave me a stroke
Same. I never used any tobacco products at all before picking up a pipe. Still very sensitive to the nicotine.I think I am the odd one on this forum - I hate the way nicotine makes me feel.

Nice to know I am not the only one. I never seem to have issues with a cigar but some pipe blends really get me going.
LOL - It happens. It's interesting how different people have such varied sensitivities. One afternoon I was with friends and we were having beers, whiskey and Cuban cigars at a place called the Dugout in Indianapolis. Anyway, my buddy from Australia was half way through his cigar and started to turn green. He disappeared and the bartender comes to the table and tells us he is losing it in the bathroom. Did not affect anyone, else even one of the women who was with us who weighs 110 pounds soaking wet.
All that said I don't understand why cigars do not get me going like a pipe. Maybe I tend to inhale/retro-hale the pipe more. I typically do not retrohale a cigar
I'm not a aromatic guy but Boswell's has one I really like especially when it's really hot and humid outside. Bear Blend. Very subtle cherry flavor and the latakia is nice and mellow, sweet and grassy Virginia flavor comes through nicely. Consistent flavor throughout the bowl.

Nothing odd about being sensitive to nicotine. I have a high tolerance to nicotine so I prefer blends with alot of nicotine, but there are some who can't tolerate it, that's just a fact of life. What's important is that you smoke what you like and no one can argue with that.
