Tinder Box Black Russian
(2.79)
Very rich and aromatic...a perfect desert tobacco. Creamy vanilla and dark chocolate flavorings with molasses added for smoothness upon light up and throughout smoking.

The smell in the pouch was of chocolate covered cherries, even though there is no cherry topping here, that was the smell I got. Once lit it tasted like coffee liquer and chocolate, rather pleasant.
Black Russian smoked well and did not disappoint, but it is rather one sided, coffee flavor all the way down with no real tobacco taste underneath. Recommended for those who enjoy sweet aromatics and aren't looking for much in the way of tobacco leaf flavor.

Upon opening the pouch, it smells of chocolate. The room notes are very nice with a small of vanilla. The taste however, is hard to enjoy with the large amount of bite this tobacco produces. Requires a number of lights to keep lit and not much payoff. I bought 1/2-pound, but I tend to skip it in my rotation.

First, let me state that I smoke mostly aromatics and bought this one solely by the smell (bought bulk). And to add, I had not been smoking that long at the time and really would still consider myself a beginner as far as taste bud development goes...
As I said it smells wonderful. A sweet molasses smell with (IMO) hints of chocolate. Can't say I could detect much vanilla.
As far as smoke goes, like any other aromatic, this puppy can get hot, and be prepared for a relight. A tasty tobacco if you stay relaxed and smoke it slowly. I enjoyed the taste of the cavendish (molasses and chocolate), and as others have said, you might even be able to catch some vanilla or coffee notes.
If I could rate in halves, I would give this 2 and a half stars.

This came in a boxed set with 3 other Tinderbox aromatics I bought in 2004. In the pouch it smells yummy, chocolate and a hint of vanilla. In the pipe, however, it lost it all for me. Like others have stated, I experienced more bite than flavor. Also had something in the background a bit metallic-like, although it could be that this didn't age well.
