I also have the Irish temper Pipedjimmy, LOL!

Love London, I have been there many times. Always pick up Condor, St Bruno and Rington's Northumbrian tea when I am there.

here i go again...noted for her quality aromatics, try carol burns at pipeworks&wilke.

lots of gpod reviews on tobaccoreviews.com

when i'm in my aromatic mood, her honey-vanilla is superb.

also excellent are her vermont maple blend and #515 (i think that's it), reputedly originally blended for basil rathbone a a fine rum=based concoction.

advantages are a special sampler package and the ability to buy at fair bulk prices. plus personalized service.

i suppose if minimum quanties are involved, carol is known to tweak a blend to your specific preferences

I'll have to go with the previously reccommended "Devil's Holiday". I do not like it as an all-day smoke, but have found I can enjoy it more as an "after dinner" smoke.

I would also add "Scotty's Butternut Burley" from pipesandcigars.com, and "Maple Street" from the Altadis "Sutliff Private Stock" line.

I've been on an aromatic search for 28 years and found Boswells just recently. They have a good variety of aros to choose from. I've been working my way through the menu with great anticipation and satisfaction. I haven't found one to burn yet and I do smoke them hot and fast as a rule.

My favorite right now is the Chocolate cream. It smell delicious in the pouch and tastes like it smells. To me anyhow.

Sweet Tea is another well named tobacco. It is sweet yet has underlying depth of flavor that I enjoy. You have to want it sweet to enjoy this though.

Berry Cobbler is also one that I enjoy. It is certainly more subtle than Sweet Tea in the topping flavor but like a tasty desert.

If you want a latikia flavor mixed in with your topping try Bear's Blend. Not my cup of tea but may satisfy others.

As you can see, I'm really enjoying the Boswell tobaccos. I hope this helped. I'm a proud aromatic smoker!!!

LOL! I just came here, and read every post to see if anyone had said Boswells, and it was the last one! I've heard a lot of folks say that they have something spacial in the Aromatic dept. Also Milan's.

Have you ever has Haddo's Delight by G.L. Pease? I find it works well for a lot of aromatic folks.

I am so jealous, St Bruno, Condor, Walnut Flake, Three Nuns, sure wish they would export to the US, they would have a big market here.

SILLEM'S BLACK.

Problem solved.

Enough Latakia to keep you happy for the English blend lover, and enough black Cavendish to keep the guests happy.

I've never actually tried 'Three Nuns', its available in pouch forms in a few local tobacconists but I think I'm right in saying its not the same as the old mixture? and couldn't find any reviews for the new blend on TR

Definitely not the same. It puts the old coins to shame. Every now and again you can find some on ebay if you're willing to spend 25/35 dollars on a tin.

That's a shame, was looking forward to putting something readily available in my stock to smoke at will, lol guess I'll buy some more St. Bruno's and smoke that.

Irish, if I'm ever in the states and have a large stock of the stuff on me, you're welcome to half lol take it easy guys, night from England.

Lol well I'm pretty easy to please really, marshmellows would probably do the trick, I'm quite fond of burgers too, or some sort of carbonated beverage, all three are very appealling lol ah hell dude, I'm sure I'll be over there in years to come and if we're still talking through this marvellous board, call it a given.
