My Review
A few years ago my wife asked me what she could get me for my birthday. I gave her the URL to Boswell Pipes and asked her to order me some Bear Blend (which I reviewed last week). As an additional surprise, she ordered a few ounces of their English Countryside blend. She said the name “English Countryside” reminded her of our favorite place in England which is anywhere in the English Countryside (specifically Kent, near Tunbridge Wells). Boswell Countryside has quickly become one of my favorite English blends and perhaps for the simple fact my wife liked the name and what it reminded her of.
Boswell Countryside is what I would consider to be a somewhat lighter version of Northwoods. The mixture of Black Cavendish, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish and Virginia tobacco is amazing. I find it’s a blend that is easy to light and burns evenly all the way to the bottom of the bowl. This blend has helped me develop an appreciation and taste for Latakia.
In summary, I’ve been enjoying Boswell Countryside in my rotation for about two years now and simply can’t wait until the next time my wife and I have an opportunity to travel back to England where I can enjoy this in the English countryside with my beautiful wife by my side.
