(2.86)
Russ' Monthly Blend - Candy Cane Cocoa is the perfect blend for sitting at home in front of the fireplace. The mixture is mostly black cavendish with some Virginia and burley. It has a rich chocolate note with a hint of peppermint. What makes the blend especially interesting is that the room note smells like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, but the chocolate takes the background in the flavor as the cooling mint lingers pleasantly on the palate.

This is hands down the worst tobacco I've ever had I couldn't imagine anything possibly being any worse unless it was bug spray flavored. I would rather die than smoke another bowl this awful garbage I can't imagine anything being worse. It tastes so pepperminty that I swear there's nothing else on the palate at all. It is unbelievable how strong the peppermint oil is, it is so strong that the smoke from my pipe cannot be retrohelled at all and also the smoke burns my eyes from how strong the peppermint is period whoever made this crap ought to be forced to smoke a pound of it this stuff !

This does not have "a hint of peppermint". The peppermint is overpowering, and will ghost your pipe. This was given to me by a brother piper, who also didn't care for it. Likewise, I passed it off to someone else.
