I tried JM Boswells northwoods last night, I bought one of their 3oz jar deals. My initial impressions were not great, the tin note was off putting to me, it had a strangely chemical smell, though I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it being packed in the jar it came in instead of a tin. For the first quarter or so of the bowl i was pretty underwhelmed, while smooth the smoke didn't seem particularly complex or flavorful, and I had a difficult time picking out any notes.
However, after a relight after the first quarter of the bowl, the flavors of the latakia and cavendish became much more distinct and pleasant, and seemed to come in waves of one then the other. I'll definitely be giving it another try, it seems like it might be a good introduction to english blends for people who have only smoked aromatics. The tin note is still strange to me and is probably still my biggest gripe
