This is a very sweet and creamy blend with hints of raspberry and vanilla. This blend smokes very cool and does not bite easily. I recommend Boswell's Raspberry Cream to any aromatic smoker. I am looking forward to ordering more

Loved this blend. Mild vanilla, and actual raspberry taste! Also taste a bit of cocoa. Kept lit very well, no bite. Smoked all the way down with no dottle. All day smoke easily, sure to satisfy a sweet tooth craving.

This is a top-notch aromatic blend. With a name of Raspberry Cream, most smokers should already have some idea of what to expect. The flavoring seems like a genuine food-grade topping, not a chemical substitute that cheap aromatic blends use. But it's Boswells, they have excellent blends and a great reputation.

The tobacco is great quality. The smell is exactly like the name, a Raspberry cobler with a creamy hint to it. Room note is the same. And like Berry Cobler, the taste of the smoke was just like the smell. It did seem to fade as the bowl smoked down, but I've experienced that with just about every heavy aromatic blend. I think that just comes with the territory.

The only word of caution is that this blend WILL ghost a pipe. And very quickly. I think after 3 or 4 bowls I could get a hint of it in the bowl. But again, I expect that from a heavy aromatic and planned which pipe to use accordingly.

If you haven't tried this and love aromatics, it will not disappoint. If you haven't tried anything from Boswell's they won't disappoint either.

Some aromatics get it just right. This is definitely one of them. The note of the raspberry smells great without that over-the-top casing you can get with some aros. The smell is good but the smoke is even better. The flavor nuance of raspberry is ever present but not too much. A very light even keel smoke that's like a dessert. The burn is consistent beginning to end. If you like raspberry this is definitely a must try. Reminds me a lot of cherry Bon Bon by PS on consistency, balance, and burn (aside from the obvious - flavoring). This would be a great smoke for anyone - for a newbie as an introduction, for a regular who is looking for a sweet change or anyone in between. This is a nicely done aromatic no doubt about it.

This tobacco should be in every aromatic enthusiasts reserve. First, there simply aren't many raspberry aromatics in the first place. This one fits the bill better than any in the field and really puts just about any other aro to shame. Its very well balanced. Raspberry plays loud and clear, but is nuanced with creamy undertones. Base tobaccos hold things together well giving you voluminous smoke, not the wispy, gurgling nonsense of inferior aros. Boswell has their finger on the pulse of aros in general and Raspberry Cream has to be one of the best around. I smoke this all year.

What is not to like about the blends from the good folks at Boswells? You get a very high quality product, at a reasonable price, that is made right here in the USA from what I understand to be incredibly nice people running a small business.

The real reason I am a huge fan of the Boswell blends is they are just downright fantastic. I really look to them when I am looking for a quality aromatic. For me this is where they really shine. Do not get me wrong, Northwoods is a fantastic tobacco, but there are a lot of really good english blends out there. What is truly a rare beast is an aromatic that is not goopy, that does not require an asbestos tongue, and really delivers on the flavor it advertises. For most aromatic blends out there whatever extravagant name the tobacco holds it becomes a sad let down. This pouches of wild fruit cherry passion jubilee really just taste like hot steam. Not Boswells. If it says apple or chocolate or berries in the name, that is exactly what you can expect. That is a rarer bird to find in the pipe tobacco world than a good english.

Raspberry Cream is just like all the other Boswell favorites. Packs well, burns well, leaves behind a nice dry grey ash and a pleasant and nostalgic type of room note. Cannot go wrong. I do prefer Berry Cobbler to Raspberry Cream but you would never find me turning my nose up at a bowl of this blend. Definitely worth a try.

This is a good blend; the smell from the bag, the room note, and the lemon-like zing in the flavor. But there are a few things which don't make it outstanding in my book.

I like my aromatics to have a very mild tobacco taste, and a medium to strong flavoring (without being overpowering). Raspberry Cream, when being compared to the Berry Cobbler, has a somewhat stronger tobacco taste and a duller flavoring. I prefer the bag smell and room note of the berry cobbler as well. Still a very good blend, not quite what I had expected.

I'll be purchasing Boswell's Chocolate Cream next, and I have high hopes that this Raspberry mixed with the Chocolate would be a killer blend.

This is a dessert Tobacco all the way, and a good choice for relaxing after a big meal. You need to let this one dry for a bit before you can enjoy it to it's full capicity. The aroma in the pouch will have you wanting to put it over ice cream rather than smoke it, and this aroma is very much like the taste of this blend. I blend this with some of boswells "christmas cookie" and let it rest for a few months and all I can say is if you want a rich sweet tobacco that will satisfy any sweet tooth....Give this one a try!!

After trying Berry Cobbler and Christmas Cookie with good but not great results I continued on to the NEXT highest rated Boswell aromatic. Raspberry Cream is by far the best for me.

The smell upon opening the pouch is a very delicious aroma of raspberry and slight hint of granola. Beautiful black cavendish dominates throughout with lighter ribbon style cavendish.

Lights fantastically well from the first light all the way down to the bottom of the bowl. Produces grainy white ash and dottle throughout the smoke. I tipped the bowl halfway through and relit. Has a great relight quality, like having a fresh bowl all over again. This is the easiest blend I've had with the baccy staying lit.

The taste is sensational! This is the first aromatic that actually tastes like the smell. A sublime rustic, smokey, velvety smooth raspberry taste that lingers on your tongue after each puff. About halfway through the bowl I noticed more of the vanilla cream and tobacco taste come through but the smooth cool raspberry taste dominates. It has virtually no bite whatsoever. I even tried to smoke this fast and hard to see if I could even produce a bite to no avail. I am simply amazed by this blend.

If you are a fan of aromatics and Boswell like I am you simply have to try this amazing blend. You will not be disapointed. Raspberry Cream is my favorite so far from Boswell with Christmas Cookie and Berry Cobbler following close behind.

Boswell's Berry Cobbler and Peaches and Cream have burley added to the cavendish and black cavendish formula. I'm curious why the Boswells didn't use the same tobacco base for Raspberry Cream.... Tis but a mystery!

Raspberry Cream is predominately black cavendish, with a few speckles of brown leaf. Like Berry Cobbler, the aroma of this blend is absolutely intoxicating, and very appealing to the olfactory senses. As I've stated several times reviewing Boswell's aromatics, they use nothing but high quality flavoring components to their high grade leaf. There are several reasons they have been in business so long as a boutique blender, Customer service, and fine tobaccos!

Raspberry Cream loads and packs well. Lights without any hassle. No stickiness on the fingers.

Initial lighting has tons of natural berry flavoring. Not cloying or artificial in any way, shape or form. Burns slowly and evenly, never hints at biting and no harsh/rough spots. A well rounded aromatic that is a definite crowd pleaser. A great indoor smoke, I enjoy it in the summer on my early morning commutes. I love coming back to my truck at lunch time and smelling the sweet aroma of pastry and berries. Another 4 star aromatic from the great folks at Boswell!

I'm partaking in a bowl of it, in a Bjarne... as I type. I've let this blend age a bit; I'd have to say... a little more than 6 months. It most certainly has improved with age. It is very easy to pack. It lights very easily too; and stays lit... especially after having it sit out for it bit first. There's an immediate burst of recognizable raspberry flavor. As I puff and puff and puff and am made to feel blissful; so does the bedroom air as it gets decorated with such a sweet fragrance. Mid smoke is when it REALLY begins to deliver. I can't wait until the fall season; so I can take pleasure in it amidst the cooler ambient air.

This was the first of Boswell's I have tried. I started with 2oz about 3 weeks ago and as of now only have a bowl or two left. The smell in the bag is great, kinda like raspberry jam on a sugar cookie. It smells like its good enough to eat. The taste is mild ripe raspberry with a faint vanilla finnish. Actually, you have to really concentrate, I thought, to detect the vanilla. Not a very strong tabacco flavor but a good relaxing smoke. If you like aromatics this is the one to get. I will definitely be ordering more to keep on hand.

For my money this is the best of the Boswell blends. Made with high quality tobacco and topped with a flavoring that actually taste like raspberry rather than something cooked up in a meth lab. Smooth and creamy smoke that won't bite. Great first pipe of the morning with a hot cup of coffee.

Simply put, this is one of my favorites. The raspberry taste is perfect. Not overwhelming, fake, or artificial. Burns great. No goop and stays lit. This stuff is awesome when smoked in a meerschaum which I highly recommend. Oh, and as a side note?..the room note is incredible and is my girlfriend?s favorite! She always comments ?honey, can you smoke the raspberry!?? Expect complements galore even from non-smokers on this one.

I guess I will have a desenting opinion on this one. I got this as a part of a aeromatic sampler, which as a whole I found to be a good investment to find some new blends. Raspberry Cream just didn't make the cut, especially when it comes in the same sampler as Berry Cobbler. The taste was pleasant enough, a little weak for my tastes and it got bitter toward the end of the bowl. I will stick with the Berry Cobbler or perhaps CAO Black

Rasberry cream the smell from the bag was good, the tobacco was easy to work with. One thing I didn't enjoy was how fine cut some of the strands of tobacco were but what can I say. The smoke at first did have a citrus lemon fill to it with hints of vanilla in the finish. A regret I have with this tobacco was smoking it in an older corn cob. I'm looking forward to trying this again mainly because the pipe used really allowed me to smoke hot even with slow sips. Overall another solid aromatic by Boswell whom just haven't disappointed myself so far. This product gave a great room aroma as well as feeling my taste buds with a solid tobacco flavor.

I've yet to sample all of what the Boswell's have to offer and, judging from what I've sampled thus far, I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the journey. I ordered my sample of "Raspberry Cream" along with several others, all of which I absolutely loved, with the one exception being "Raspberry Cream". The aroma upon opening the zip lock bag was wonderful, as was the room note, but the flavor was weak with only a slight hint of any kind of berry taste. The tobacco was a tad damp so I dried it out a bit overnight, put it in a jar the next morning and on the shelf it sat, untouched, for 3 months. I guess all I really need to say here is that if you cellar this tobacco for just a few months you will be well rewarded. It still had a decent amount of moisture in it and the flavor upon light up was incredible! Yes... toasted raspberries! It burned great, with a couple of relights near the bottom. The relight flavor is creamy and wonderful. So get it, shelve it, then enjoy it. The Boswell's just do not disappoint!

Wow! This gives a whole new meaning to getting a raspberry!

I was gifted a sample of this blend and it smelled so wonderful in the pouch and I had a sweet tooth going so thought I would give it a try. The pouch aroma is almost like raspberry jam. It is a dark mix of brown to mostly dark brown ribbon cut tobaccos and it was almost sticky with the topping but not like a lot I've tried over the years. Upon lighting up, a wonderful room note aroma burst out of my pipe, and the taste of fresh raspberry settled on my tongue and it tasted quite good. Those that think an aromatic can't taste like the pouch aroma need to try this, it tastes exactly like it smells. For the first half of the bowl, my sweet tooth was quenched and it tasted wonderful but very little of the tobacco taste came across. Then just past the mid point, I started tasting the tobacco come through. The first half was very mild and rich while the second half started biting and got harsher and at the bottom of my pipe it became very bitter. To it's credit though, it did not gunk up my pipe and did burn down to a dark grey ash and a little dottle. While in no way would this be a regular smoke for me, I have to say I did enjoy it overall and it will be nice to have when I have the sweet cravings. Because of the bitter end I can't give it four stars, I will give it three because for an aromatic it behaved quite well and was enjoyable.

This is a good one. It doesn't bite, or taste artificial. The raspberry is subtle, and bakery like. There's also a whisper of vanilla somewhere in there. It leaves a nice aftertaste, and Burns exceptionally well. These guys always impress me with there aromatic blends. I don't know that I've ever seen a raspberry flavored blend before. I'll give it an extra star just for that.

This was one of the first aromatics I tried & to this day it remains one of my all time favorites.

It smoke/tastes like it smells in the jar & that's a rare trait. Very pleasant tastes of raspberries & cream.

Towards the end of a bowl I can taste a stronger creamyness in the tobacco & that's just fine with me.

I don't really pick up on the vanilla hint that others get...

This blend burns cool & clean. No gurgling or left over trash just like other Boswell blends. To that point, this is made with premium tobaccos & it holds up perfectly to aging without losing any of it's qualities.

Smoke it fast & it still retains the raspberry & cream tastes but I've found if you smoke it very slow you can really taste the creamy part of this blend.

Imo this is easily an all day long smoking blend without any bite & you'll still be tasting the flavor of this blend bowl after bowl. It's also pleasant to others in the room making it ok to smoke around others. My girlfriend always enters the room & comments on how good the room smells with this blend.

Being a cavendish blend you can't go wrong giving it a blind try & I'll go as far as saying even if you don't like raspberries you may find you still really enjoy this blend. I've never tried anything close to this blend so go ahead & order you some raspberries & cream!

Just like every other aromatic I’ve tried of Boswell’s, the topping is what you smell as soon as you open the pouch/tin. This one is very pleasant. I’m always afraid when buying a new aromatic that the topping will smell or taste completely artificial, but the berry note here is very natural, and backed up with a heavy scent of vanilla. Upon the charring light though, there is instantly a toasted gold Cavendish taste and smell, which remains present throughout the smoke. The berry and vanilla taste and smell never go away, and retain a strong presence throughout the bowl. A perfect “dessert” smoke or Saturday morning smoke for the porch swing and a cup of Joe. This can burn hot, even with a slow cadence, and burns quite wet, especially in a deep bowl. Drying out beforehand helps quite a bit. I have not noticed any “ghosting” with this like some aromatics.

There is no nicotine to speak of. This may not even take the edge off if you are having a craving, but the flip side is that you could easily smoke this all day if you want. This and Cupcake are my favorite aromatics from Boswell’s.

As a side note, if you order this in a bag rather than a tin, the berry smell will get into any other bagged tobacco during shipping. Airing the tobaccos out in separate areas/rooms got everything back right again.

I got a one ounce bag of this and found it today packed in behind other blends. Thought I would give it a try. Typically I find most Boswell aromatics pretty good but usually come up short in the taste department. This blend is no different. Has a decent tin note with a light aroma of raspberry. Lights up easy and you get an immediate taste of fresh raspberries but that quickly goes away. Then you get a very light sweet taste that I can't identify that comes and goes. At the end of the smoke Burns fairly cool with a little bite especially near the end of the smoke. I find Boswell mixes about the best non-aromatic blends out there but their aromatics are about on par with everyone else. Frankly this is an average aromatic. To be fair I prefer full tasting aromatics of which there are very few so for those who like lite mild tasting aromatics this blend may be right down your alley. What taste you receive is good and it stays with YOU throughout the entire smoke.

This blend has more of a sharp or tart type of raspberry taste to me. As with all Boswell blends it is pretty good. The flavor hangs around for a while after the pipe is finished and i like that. This is one I may keep a little on hand to enjoy every now and then. I will definitely be trying this one again in the summer time because I think it will be more enjoyable at that time. Regardless it's still a solid 3 star blend.

Rough cut black cavendish with just a few coppery ribbons.

Smell in the pouch is pleasant in that artificial raspberry casing kind of way.

The taste is neither offensive nor remarkable. On the one hand, there is no nastiness (as in Berry Cobbler); but, on the other hand, there isn't much real tobacco taste, or anything else to commend it. I did not taste the raspberry at all.

It's fine--certainly not something I'd steer you away from--but nothing I'd direct you to either.

If you are a once a week pipe smoker, who is looking to smoke in public, than this is an acceptable choice. Mild, no bite and nice raspberry/cookie scent for the first half of the bowl. Sour Burley (they say Cavendish) is the taste, even after 6 months of cellaring. I tried to like this, but, it reminded me too much of those drug store aromatics. Ghosts the pipe with raspberry real bad. Will not buy again, ( guess I can't get into aromatics, although "Blue Note" isn't bad,so I don't hate them all)

This one has a great room note of sweet and tangy berries, but it was hard to keep lit and to my taste the flavor is pretty flat. It does have the great Boswell 'no-bite' characteristic, unless you tug it real hard to try and get more flavor out of it. I would say 4 stars for the people in the room enjoying the aroma, but just 2 stars for the person smoking it. If you really like aromatics, go ahead and give it a whirl, but be sure to order some Christmas Cookie from Boswell while you're at it - CC has the heavenly room note and is a more enjoyable smoke.

I just got this from Boswell with Bear blend, as well as Christmas Cookie. Having tried Berry Cobbler before, I think this one tops it.

The taste is much more mild than berry cobbler and the flavoring isnt as artificial.

Smokes cool, Leaves no sticky residue, and has what I believe to be a better room note than most any other berry aromatic.

Girlfriend only likes this and Christmas cookie as blends to be around.

A bit too strongly flavored for me. Leaves a lot of deposits in the pipe bowl.

For me, this was a good tobacco for helping me to learn how to taste pipe tobacco, and to properly light a bowl of tobacco. It's great for that because the strong flavor makes it easy to sense when I've used too much flame and overly charred the tobacco, and the sweet flavor is so strong that it makes it easy to sense when I'm getting a good berry flavor.

But for better or worse, I've found that I prefer less assertively flavored tobaccos. I have had the same experience with Sutliff Z92 Vanilla Custard and Boswell Berry Cobbler: Helpful to learn from but just not my cup of tea for smoking regularly thereafter.

A quality product and I can recommend it for someone looking for the stronger flavor. I highly recommend it because it is what it is claimed to be, a full flavored aromatic with berry flavor.

Technique notes: My smoking technique is to focus only on smoking. No reading or work or other distractions. Just enjoying the smoke. Outdoors only. A few bowls per week of pipe smoking. Lightly charring the tobacco initially and with relights. Sipping. Occasional retrohale. Peterson pipe lighter with smallest practical flame. Sometimes a BIC EZ Reach lighter.

Am using a variant of the Frank method to pack a 2/3 full pipe without first putting loose tobacco in the bowl. I just take a wad of tobacco and press it into place Frank-style. Tobacco is stored in OXO POP container with size 60 Boveda 72% pack.

Savinelli 207 smooth is my favorite pipe and favorite pipe design.

Super disappointing. I'm a huge aromatic fan and I found this to have a solid vanilla taste and near zero raspberry note. I really wanted this to be awesome but it's not. I had to check to see if maybe it got miss-labeled? It's a huge crowd-pleaser though, as everyone around liked it. Strong sweet taste and very up-front vanilla. Barely any raspberry taste at all. Strong vague sugar-sweet taste that over-powers anything else.

Standard amazing billows of rich smoke as is normal for BP&T, and again, only 1 lighting start necessary, which is great.

A lot of guys let theirs dry-out a bit before smoking it. Maybe that will help so I'll try it again later that way. Maybe I got a bad batch?

I recommend Sutliff Black Raspberry instead.

UPDATE* ==== Allowed it to dry out a tad and it got rid of the vanilla overdose, but the raspberry flavoring is very very mild and almost non-existent. Still not recommended.

Not really a fan of raspberry blends, but this one is pretty decent. Very sweet, can definitely taste the raspberry. If it wasn't a Boswell blend, then this would likely be one of the top aromatics that whatever brand offers. It's good, but there's plenty more to offer from Boswell that I think tops this one.

Smoked alone, the raspberry flavors are dominant with little of the cream aspects showing up... It definitely needs an extended amount of drying time as it is heavily cased and can be tough to keep lit... Can get bitter towards the end of the bowl...

Where this tobacco shines is when it is dried thoroughly and blended with a vanilla or chocolate aromatic... It tones down some of the sweetness and becomes more enjoyable to me.. Still not my favorite Boswells ( Berry Cobbler) but once dried properly, this is rather nice...

Well I am new to the pipe so maybe I did not pack it right or something but I had a rough time keeping it. Also it had more bite than some other Boswells I have tried. Still though the room note is great and flavor is the same. Like I said I might have to give it another shot let it sit out a few days and try it again.

I smoked for a long time ago and now I see that i had forgotten in my cellar. After 1 year. is still wonderful. I dont know have people say that is light, for me is a heavy aromatic flavor so strong. Taste is large and nice, notwithstanding than after 1 Year stoped in my cellar, not lost anything, its amazing. Cherry so deep. If you like aromatic or not, try it, this is a different style tobacco that you never see. Deserves 4 stars **

This is the strongest aromatic I have ever tried, it is really "in your face" style raspberry compared to other aromatics. I think this is because the raspberry naturally has strong flavor. Definatley try this is your a fan of the raspberry, you will not be disapointed. I like the Berry Cobbler more, which has a more complex flavor, one thing I like to do is mix the two blends together, which gives you a very complex, very strong berry flavor.

This one i grew to enjoy, rich razzberry taste with a lite cream omi,a once or three times a day smoke for me a palate pleasure like the nobitedelite, and chistmas cookie, but diffrent because its distinguist taste of razzberry inhale and smooth cream exhale.

After smoking many drug store aromatics and being very dissatisfied I came across a forum post on Boswells tobaccos. So I thought I would give them a shot and boy am I glad I did. I ordered, berry cobbler, raspberry cream and peaches and cream.

Berry cobbler was very good but NOTHING compared to raspberry cream. Simply amazing blend. Tends to burn hot though if youre not careful. Christmas cookie is another perfect blend of sweet tobacco that makes for a fantastic smoke.

Raspberry cream is my favorite blend , right now anyway. I enjoy the flavor, I just wish it could have a little more of it . Could use a little more sweetness on my tongue also. If you enjoy aromatic blends as i do , give this one a try. The people at Boswell are top notch also. Thanks for reading my review.

A very attractive and light flavorful tobacco, with an amazing aroma even in the pouch - in addition to the raspberry, of chocolate, caramel, and coconut I believe as other Boswell blends. Delightful. Nearly impossible to dry though, plus not good for cellaring.

Update #2: I'm putting this update here because I've learned how to dry this and smoke it. Dried in the sun until it's crunchy and smoked in a cob this is very good. Better: Dry it and then mix in 10-20% of PS24 Nougat, Christmas Cookie, Snow Flake, Black Gold, etc. Then this becomes an excellent tobacco.

I find this Tobacco to be very bland and hard to keep going. I'm pulling on it to keep it lit. This is surprising because of the reviews. It's one more Bacco I ordered to much of it based on the reviews and the fact that it's black cavendish. Nothing creamy here at all. McClellands VBC(Vanilla Black Cavendish)smokes better, has some good flavor, and a better underlying quality tabacco. Even though I'm a black Cavendish smoker I like Christmas Cookie and Berry Cobbler more than this. Only Two Stars for Raspberry Cream.

I will smoke this because it is so mild in the nicotine category and I don't smell bad when I come home. The wife doesn't like stinky Tobacco's so I won't be smoking orientals very often.

Lesson: Order small quantities until you know if you like it.

UPDATE: This just tastes black and harsh and is the only tobacco to ever burn the back of my throat. What is going on here?

I'm mixing this with Christmas Cookie, sweet dreams, and majestic 586. It takes these 2 star tobaccos to three stars. By itself these tobaccos are not that good. Berry Cobbler being the exception. Berry Cobbler is a stand alone 4 star tobacco.

Drying: This dries very quickly in the sun. I think I actually overdried RC under the sun.

I fell for this blend head over heels. You truly get the taste of a toasted berry mixed in with the smooth flavor of the cavendish. I love it!

THIS is my favourite tobacco. This is what got me smoking a pipe in the first place. I cannot add much more to what most reviewers have said, except to say that the folks at Boswell's should being to make pastries. Damn, this stuff can be eaten right out of the bag. The tobacco is soooooo sweet.... Look, just buy a pouch of this and give it a try!

THIS is what I wanted pipe tobacco to be from the very beginning. As a newbie smoker you shouldn't really take my advice on anything, but this tobacco really made it for me. Granted I've only smoked about 6 different blends before this, but I know what I like (and this is it)!

Excellent smell, nice taste and a full white smoke. Absolutely no tongue-bite at all and just really really enjoyable. The Boswell's really hit gold and I feel that this will always be on the top of my list.

*Re-evaluating my reviews now that I've had a little more smoking under my belt... ...thiis goes doen to 3 stars... It's still my favorite aromatic though!

If you don't like aromatics, pass on by. If you do, then you are in for a treat. This is the blend that moved my pipe smoking from outdoors to indoors. I was headed out to walk the dog and my trusty straight briar and my wife said "if thats the raspberry, you can smoke in here when you get back." That alone should tell you everything you need to know. Although most of us like to rotate tobaccos, this is definitely a keeper that i intend to cellar ever other order i place. Great for after dinner when its snowy outside and you have a good book. One note, if you push this tobacco hard in a bent.. you're going to get a bit of heat. Straight stemmed pipes and long gentle pulls are the way to go with this blend.

This blend has gotten a lot of props and it is all well deserved. I enjoy both English blends and aromatics, and this is my very favorite aromatic. The taste is so smooth and mild and has truly a great natural raspberry taste.

Me and my wife both agreed that this tobacco smelled like a raspberry fruit bar. The smell is very dead on. Once lit a nice vanilla smell came through as the "cream" in the name suggests. Just like berry cobbler, this tobacco was not grossly sweet and was very subtle yet very tasty. A nice change of pace for you hardcore english smokers who want a lighter sweet smoke every once in a while.

I really like this blend. I have found that the flavor seems to linger on your taste buds for a while after you finished smoking it, and it is a clean distinguishable raspberry taste that is very pleasant. I would definately say this blend does not bite but maybe you could say it nibbles at the tongue a little if smoked fast. Once lit it burns well, not goopy but a little wet. It seemed a little better when dried for a little while. Boswell blends are my favorite and this would be my No. 3 Boswell blend following my No. 2 Berry Cobbler and my No. 1 Christmas Cookie. Beautiful dark and rich color. Great stuff!

I have to say I love the Boswells. They are so great to do business with. That adds as much as anything to the enjoyment of their products. With that said...

This is some wonderful stuff!! Give it, and them, a try.

I just have to say that the folks at Boswell's have got it right. This is the third review for me on Boswell's blends and I gotta say they are the best tobacco's I have been able to find so far. Now I am in no way saying I have tried them all.. far from it, but if you like aromatics and have been getting bit by the tasteless number of them out there, you owe it to your self to give the Boswell's a try. This blend really has a rasberry flavor to it. Nice and sweet, mild, no tongue bite at all, and it smells wonderfull. Tastes just like it smells.....really it does!! Not just sweet air like many others, but a real rasberry taste. I will keep it around for after dinner....perfect desert tobacco.

I really can't add any thing to what already has been said about this excellent blend. I think it's great and certainly one of the best aromatics out there. Four stars and another winner from the Boswell line. The room note, well it actually attracts people to it, wondering what that wonderful aroma is!

This is definitely one of my favorite blends from Boswell. The raspberry comes through perfectly and the room note is wonderful. It always smokes easy and does not bite. Definitely 4 stars for this one!

Ive ordered this a couple of times now, its a welcomed change to PennDT and christmas Cookie that I normally smoke. Good pouch aroma, just enough flavoring and like all Boswell blends ive tried burns to a clean white ash with little bite.

I personally like the room note of this blend but some members of my family dont which is why I cant give it a better room note.

if trapped on a deserted island i'd want this and a pipe to be the only things i'd bring with me! well....lest we forget about the fire...

the taste is out of this world! the only thing that would enhance this is to blend with an ounce of chocolate cream.

This is only the second Boswell Tobacco blend that I have ever tried, behind Paradise. This blend smells great in the pouch, lights easy and is pleasant on re-lights. After I dumped out some ash and mixed up the tobacco it re-lit and smelled the same as when I first lit it. I enjoyed the ever so sublte taste of Raspberry. A fuller smoke than Paradise. I enjoyed it and will keep it in rotation.

Just like the other Boswells Blends I have tried, Christmas Cookie, Berry Cobbler, and now this one. No Bite, taste good. Burns to a white gray ash. No goo at bottom of Pipe. Moisture is perfect. Guys give this a try.

This blend smells so good in the pouch and is even better in a briar. It has the right moisture level, packs easy and no goop at the bottom of the pipe when done. It was one of the best tasting aromatics I've ever smoked. Nice smooth Cavendish flavor with raspberry and a slight vanilla undertone. The room note is a delight. Even a non-smoker shouldn't complain about you smoking this. This was a joy to smoke. This is now my second favorite aromatic behind Christmas Cookie.
