(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.

I love this stuff. Nothing else is like it. The Peppermint makes it a cool summer smoke and with the Cocoa it's a great holiday treat. I keep a supply on hand for when I want something completely different but still good.

I am a fairly new pipe smoker (about 2 months) and have tried quite a few aromatics and a couple of English Blends and this blend is the easiest smoke I have had thus far. It is only a handful of tobaccos that smell and taste the same!! It is so tasteful that it makes me smoke fast but zero tongue bite! I would highly recomend to any new smoker as it is easy to smoke and the room note is very pleasant according to my wife. This is my first review!!

I usually steer clear of Aro's. Picked this up in a large order from P & C. Very pleasantly surprised. I get peppermint right up front. Chocolate is there as well. I have somewhat learned how to slow my smoke down, this is a must for this blend. It is very wet. I left it open for a day, that helped some. I'm guessing it could bite. I was careful and didnt get bit. As long as you sip slowly, this is a neat smoke. I will order a few more ounces. I believe this could be smoked all day if you wanted.
