If you smoke a pipe and also enjoy chocolate, I think you will like this marriage of all black cavendish and cocoa...maybe a lot. The chocolate pouch note will start to make your house smell fabulous even before you break the tape on the envelope. It is very nicely balanced, does not bite at all. I did not dry this at all, and it burns nicely once you light / tamp / light. Chocolate Mousse is not a complex smoke, nor do I think it should be. It's simple...the chocolate is present from the time you light it until you finish the bowl. I gladly give this one all 4 stars, I will definitely be getting more of this one.

No tobacco taste at all, but then again, you're not buying it for that. You're buying it because you want a rich chocolate flavored dessert smoke, though it can be an all day smoke if you so desire. There a little vanilla present, too. The smell of the blend is stronger than the taste, which I found to be a plus because it won't overwhelm the smoker with too much chocolate. Has little nicotine. The strength is in the center of mild to medium, while the taste level is a couple of steps past that mark. Won't bite or get harsh, and has no dull moments. It was a little moist when I got it, but I did not dry it out, and it burned cool and clean at a reasonable pace, with no harshness or bite, and very little moisture left in the bowl. Requires an average number of relights. No goop at the finish. Has a very pleasant, lightly lingering after taste and room note. An all day smoke.

Sutliff Tobacco Co. - Chocolate Mousse B30.

For an afternoon smoke I always like an aromatic. I have a penchant for sticky, heavy, and sweet aromatics around this time, normally vanilla or chocolate. So when I spotted Chocolate Mousse in my stash I couldn't resist! And considering my morning smoke didn't go down too well, D & R Two Timer Gold, I thought 'the more decadent the better, live a little!'.

Right from word go this is a heavy, clumsy blend: coarse jet black ribbons which smell heavily cased. The moisture's a bit high but that's to be expected for a strong smelling aromatic.

The smoke: the only nuance from the tobacco is black Cavendish vanilla, other than that it's a chocolate smoke: sticky, sweet and heavy. If, for some strange reason, you've ever pondered on how it would be to smoke a chocolate bar a bowl of this should answer that question! It smokes a bit wet, and requires a few relights. Tongue bite? None. Temperature? Like ice.

Nicotine: mild. Room-note: very pleasant.

Chocolate Mousse? A quintessentially indulgent blend. Highly recommended:

Four stars.

Ah yes, B30 is just what I was looking for: a black Cavendish chocolate flavored blend. McClelland's Chocolate Silk is still the finest Chocolate blend I have ever had but B30 comes in a close 2nd. Mild tobacco with zero nicotine and the aroma in the bag does not translate to the taste. Yes you will taste the cocoa but nowhere near the almost unsettling tin note (which is good since it would have overwhelmed me). Everyone loves the room note and I liked the silky smooth, bite free taste. Again, I would prefer MC's Chocolate Silk but if I ran out and had this in my cellar, I could satisfy my sweet tooth and be content smoking B30. Also makes a great mixer with a strong burley!

Some people think you should give this to your girlfriend . .. I say dont bother untill youre grown up and married ... cause girlfriends are like the wind . Anyway , This blend has a nice choc mousse taste that dosent bite , smokes cool and mostly dry and the roomnote is very nice . It's mild in body and nicotine . After a day of working at my business and working on my farm / home and family [ you know ... man stuff ] this is a relaxing smoke . If you like aromatics , and why wouldnt you , you could give this a try very cheaply ... wvsmokeshop.com and other sites have it in 1 oz samples for like 1.79 or something like that . Have your wife try it too ... she may end up smoking the pipe w/ you ... my wife enjoys it . She also Enjoys Escudo and a bunch more of whats in MY cellar 🙂

A tip of the cap to the two previous reviewers whose positive comments led to me trying this.

I've been looking for a decent chocolate tobacco for blending experiments, specifically, to add more chocolate flavor and aroma to SG Chocolate Flake. (It works....give it a try.)

I pretty much agree with all the comments made in the previous reviews. The aroma of this is very strong, reminding me of freshly spread cocoa bean shell mulch. The flavor isn't as strong as the aroma but is definately there.

It does tend to burn a bit on the hot side but without tongue bite, and is best when mixed with a cooler burning weed.

Not something I'd often want to smoke by itself, but an excellent blending agent (very inexpensive too).

Zarnicky loves this tobacco. Is very mild and smoother than a baby's bottom. Zarnicky have only von tooth and is a sweet tooth. Det's why I lovink dis Chocolate Mousse. Is better than smoking a Canadian Moose because antlers not get stuck in pipe. Is very sweet and delicious. Trust Zarnicky and try it. If you like mild aromatics, you vill loving this one.

"I've lit up a Hershey bar." This was my first thought upon lighting Sutliffs Chocolate Mousse-B30. I obtained a pouch at the 2017 TAPS show in Raleigh, NC and thought I would give it a try. The pouch smell is strong, nearly "overpowering." Like smelling a box of chocolates. "Life is like a box of chocolates," after all and, with with this I could say I, "never knew what I was gonna get." LOL I loaded up a small meer, which I keep for sampling things which I fear may ghost a briar. It was very moist out of the pouch but it lit up on the first try and stayed lit the whole way through. I only had to tamp once on that bowl or the next, full sized one. It did leave a bit of dottle in the bottom of each bowl. As to the smoke? As I said in the beginning, I wasn't sure if I was smoking tobacco or a candy bar. After awhile it settled into tasting exactly like a chocolate milkshake. It was even smooth and creamy. The problem being, I was smoking my pipe, not drinking a milkshake! No tobacco flavor at all. I had to wonder how heavily cased this is, and with what, to get this taste/ sensation? The taste remained the same throughout both the small and large bowls which I tried. It did not get hot and there seems not chance it could bite. My wife, who loves the room note of H&H Egg Nog or Hobbits Weed, tells me that the room note was "too sweet." Final impression, this seems more like something I would think should be in a "hookah" than in a real tobacco pipe. However, if you really want something sweet, here it is. Particularly if you have a taste for chocolate and, for whatever reason, you cannot eat the real thing. While strong aro's are not usually my thing, I may keep a bit on hand. Who knows? It may help with my diet!

I was so disappointed by itself, but I recommend as a blend mixer! The tin note was super chocolatey but once lit, it was a cheap, artificial flavor. Overpowering and unpleasant to me. The smoke was thick and strong, which was good but the chocolate was not good. HOWEVER, I will say that it worked great as a blend mixer. Good cutter and gave an extra layer.

First Impressions:

I only bought an ounce of this to try, because the idea of chocolate tobacco just wasn't quite clicking with me. But, I love my BCA, and its clouds of vanilla smoke. So, why not?

Pouch note. As others have mentioned, this is a strong, rich, chocolate brownie smell in the pouch, that is about the strongest aroma I have encountered. And, it's not a chemical smell, either...just rich and delicious. Edible, even.

This was pretty moist, and I'll update this review in a few weeks, after it has dried a bit. But, it lit pretty well, and tended to stay lit without much problem. The clouds of chocolaty smoke will make you a friend in any room, I suspect.

As expected (and hoped) the smoke is less chocolaty, more of a rich creamy cocoa, but with enough flavor to make it a real keeper, and with some mouth taste of chocolate, also. There is no tobacco taste, but the tobacco is merely the chocolate delivery system, so I wasn't expecting any

This is a very nice aro, providing a nice counterpoint to the BCA, and its vanilla. And, it should make a fine evening dessert smoke, but could easily be smoked all day.

To get some tobacco flavor, I often mix CH with my BCA, and simply love that combination of vanilla and nutty flavors of the CH burley. CH will also be mixed with the Mousse, as I expect to find a similar nutty-chocolate mix that will also go on my list of "must smoke this more often" home blends.

For the moment, if you're a fan of vanilla, buy haven't yet tried chocolate, then I'd say your in for a treat. Three stars for smoked flavor, but the pouch aroma is simply a home run.
