I don't like Chocolate as a topping in an aromatic, but that is not the primary reason I am giving this one one star. I also don't like relighting my pipe more than is necessary, but to some extent this is to be expected when smoking stoved blends. I don't know why, but they all seem to have problems igniting and maintaining ignition than their non-stoved counterparts.
My problem with this blend is that I am a dry smoker. I seldom pass a pipe cleaner through a pipe mid smoke, unless I am smoking one of my two Peterson System pipes, but this is a whole other level of frustration to be discussed elsewhere.
Every time and in every pipe I smoked this, gurgles came forth and I needed to run one of my thin pipe cleaners through and then relight and resume. It is just irritating and I don't like to be irritated while smoking my pipe. I like to have blissful thoughts.
As to the blend itself, the tastes of rum and chocolate are both detectable, as is that dried fruit taste that seems to develop when a tobacco is stoved. The topping will last through the end of the bowl. I know there are some who smoke wet and are forced to swab a pipe cleaner mid smoke every bowl they have, for that smoker, the high humidity emitted from this blend may not even be perceptible, but mark my words, this one smokes wetter than most.
For this, and other reasons, I could never recommend this blend.
