This was acquired during my annual pilgrimage to Boswell's . If you haven't been there, you simply must visit. The pipes are works of art. The tobaccos are among the best you'll find. The people are fantastic.

Thick, creamy smoke. A touch if spice. A hint of cherry. Prepare to receive positive comments from those around you.

As I enjoy this, the late afternoon is tranquil. The air is crips. The bells toll in the distance. The estate is quiet. It has been a good day. When deciding what to enjoy before dinner, I reached for this tobacco and am rewarded with an easy smoke. Were the day stressful and long, I don't think I would have enjoyed this nearly as much. As pleasant as this is, I don't think it would ever become a regular in my collection.

Lady Heseltine approves. "Ah, now that's nice," she says as she passes by.

This blend is really worth trying.

This is my all day smoke. I simply love this. I am not a Cherry fan, but this tastes so wonderful. Give it a try!

I can't say enough about the Boswell folks and their tobaccos. I got several more samplers and am enjoying my way through them. I enjoy some more than others and this is one of them. It is very smooth and has a nice flavor to it. I don't know how to describes tastes but I do know when I really like one and this one I really like. I will be getting more of this one!

It's sweet and it's mild.. it's a decent blend from Boswell's and it's worth at least giving it a try, but it just wasn't as good or as memorable as some of the other blend's Boswell offers

The toasted cherry aroma stands out the most here, with a slight alcohol note in the back ground. But for the life of me, I cannot detect the coffee that's supposed to be in here. There is more of a chocolate note than any coffee I smell.

As with the plethora of Boswell aromatics, this blend lights and packs as well as the others.

On the initial lighting, this blend seems to fall a bit flat for me personally. The taste of mild natural cherry is delightful, the whiskey is faint, but still no coffee. Burns well, clean and cool, no bite. 2nd half this blend opens up quite a bit. There is enough natural tobacco flavor paired with the toasty-cherry to keep even seasoned veterans interested. This may be your cup of tea, but there are betters from Boswell for me. Still recommended at 3 stars

Not bad, very mild. Kind of a "golden" cavendish taste. Similar to Spice/Nice. Slightly "sweet" aroma. Stays lit well, lots of smoke. Slightly citrusy, like Sweet Tea. Taste/aroma improve toward end of bowl. Should be a good "social" blend.

I have to say I wasn't sure what to think of this one at first but after a few more bowls I have grown to really like it. The aroma in the pouch is sweet and a little fruity as is the room note. The blend looks very nice too with a mix of bright and dark tobaccos. The cherry comes through, but it's not too much and you can still taste the tobacco. I would say it's a mild, sweet and easy going blend that starts with some cherry and finishes with vanilla/caremel from the black cavendish. Everything is in there just right. Smokes very nice and no bite. I could see this as an "all day smoke" like Boswell claims, but I enjoyed it most puffing on my smaller pipe for a quick tasty smoke. I recommend it and I would get it again. I'm liking this, it seems to be a milder version of PA Dutch Treat from Boswell's, not as much cherry or as full flavored, but very very good.

Perhaps Boswell does cherry flavored aromatics better than anyone, or at least their version of imparting cherry to a blend is to this smokers liking. Mild and pleasant overall a most pleasing experience. The flavoring does not overwhelm, but remains throughout the bowl, no bite, not wet and did not foul the pipe.

This used to be one of my favorite tobaccos but the last time I got it it flat out sucked the tobacco was tacky and it appeared to have sat around for awhile and although the price is not bad I still would not buy this again

As the name says, sweet and mild. However, the sweetness is just at the right level with a hint of cherry. Cool burning, easy to smoke anytime of day, and the Golden Cavendish is cut just right for packing. It is usually overlooked by many, I like to get some from time to time as it just hits that spot of a good solid aromatic with the right brightness I look for,

The cherry is sweet, and the dominant flavor, but its quiet. I don't taste coffee, or whiskey, but theres something trying to imitate them; what I would best describe as a kinda bakery spice aftertaste that I find in all of Boswell's aros. There are also notes of chocolate in the room note.

Boswell's know what they're doing with aromatics, and they named Sweet & Mild appropriately. It's the perfect blend to ignore in a social situation. It smells great, burns fantastically, and I like the plumes of smoke it gives off. There's nothing bad about this blend, but there's nothing memorable about it either. 2 1/2 stars

Certainly on the mild side in terms of strength, but not so sweet on the palate, and not very aromatic either. I don't get any coffee or whisky; perhaps just a slight hint of cherry. Not bad, but not very memorable either.

this tobacco reminds me of one you would smoke in a good state of mind,remembering all those perfect smelling blends that burned your tongue to a cinder when fist starting to smoke a pipe.this one delivers, with no bite,even trying to make it bite. soft overtones tease your nose as you ,think "maybe i do like cherry flavored tobacco".a good quality tobacco for new and old pipe smokers.it grows on you the more you smoke it.pleasure and relaxation is what we seek and this entry makes it happen. no fuss or mess. sweet and mild by the BOSWELLS.

This is another fine accomplishment from the Master Tobacconists at Boswell. I am fond of the room aroma of a pipe store and this replicates it to an art. The room note was amazing, the casing was medium. No tounge bite...with a great taste. My wife loves this one for its aroma. Great blend...in my top favorites of all time.

This is a nice mild tobacco.Upon opening the pouch you can smell the sweet aroma,almost tea like.This tobacco packs well ,lights well,burns well to a fine ash.No tongue bite at all.To me it smelt nutty/leathery.Has a nice aroma for non smokers.If your a big aromatic smoker it may not be for you,but if you want a mild nice smelling, easy going tobacco, then give it a try.

J.M. Boswell has long been famous for his aromatic tobacco blends and Sweet and Mild keeps that tradition. If you are an aromatic fancier, or maybe even if you aren't, you should give this one a try.

S/M is made up of dark brown and black cavendish cut pieces and is an attractive tobacco in the pouch. The tobacco is not sticky and doesn't seem to be overloaded with PG, although I'm sure there is some there. It doesn't have the overwhelming pouch aroma of some aromatics, indicating it hasn't been overcased.

Upon putting match to tobac, your first impression is of a pleasant sweetness that is not overbearing or cloying. This continues until mid-bowl, when the sweetness gradually fades and you are left with the taste of the base tobaccos. At least some of it seems to be coming from VAs, though there's also some burley there. It's more of a tangy taste than a sweet one.

S/M lights pretty readily and needed an average amount of relights for an aromatic, which means a few more than other types of blends. It doesn't leave your pipe goopy and only a small amount of dottle is left in the bottom of the bowl. S/M is a pretty economical tobacco. It sells for $1.75/oz. or $28/lb.

Scores for Sweet and Mild: taste-16 of 20; lighting and burn- 7 of 10; value- 8 of 10. 31 points gets it a good * rating.
