I've tried quite a few of Boswell's hand blended aro's over the past year and most of them have left me very satisfied, if not completely smitten with them. I have a handful of favorites and have come to expect a certain amount of flavor experienced in each one. I picked up the Rum River with high expectations. I really love trying anything blended with a good liquor: rum, scotch, whiskey, what have you. This particular blend was a bit of a let down though with the rum flavor not really coming through at all. It was incredibly mellow, almost bland. I kept waffling back and forth between, "Is that chocolate I taste or vanilla? Where is the rum?" The flavor is nearly undetectable. I'll finish off the 2oz I bought, maybe trying it in a couple different pipes, but I won't be coming back to this one.
