    Boswell Tobaccos

    My Secret Santa brought me 2 oz. each of Boswell’s Best, Piper’s. Pleasure, Honey Roast, and Christmas Cookie. All four are excellent. Boswell’s aromatics are more like certain European aros; Rattray’s for example.

    What blends to give someone who wants to try Pipe Smoking?
