I have to agree with reviewer Joseph Durham, this is a great aromatic. I think this is one of the "sleeper" Mc Clelland bulk blends. My local B&M recommended this blend, and I have been smoking it for three months. The mocha flavor is fantastic and dosen't bite. The room note is excellent and will be apporved by all. Mocha Black is a nice change of pace from the VA and perique blends I enjoy.
My friend recommended I mix Mc Clelland X-90 burley 1/2 & 1/2 with Mocha Black which he smokes all the time. X-90 has a light chocolate flavor, and combined with the Mocha, makes for even a better tasting aromatic. Give this combination a try and you won't be sorry.
Highly Recommended

Mocha black has a very nice tin aroma. Lights fairly easy as there is some moisture there. First puff or too gives you a nice coffee and chocolate flavor with vanilla as a background. Sadly these flavors tend to fade away as you smoke with very little flavor as you finish the bowl. The key here is to avoid getting the smoke hot but even then the flavors dies away. Now roomnote is outstanding with a wonderful chocolate and coffee aroma. A simple easy all day smoke.

I would describe the taste as similar to a chocolate covered coffee bean, if you've ever eaten one. But it's not a strong flavor. No nicotine, tongue bite, or gurgle. Impossible to keep lit. I noticed others had the same problem.

This is a good quality Cavendish. The smell of coffee and chocolate are definitely noticeable from the bag, but unfortunately very little of it comes through in the taste. This is still a pleasurable smoke despite the lack of flavor, my biggest qualm with this is the cut (LARGE ribbon) as it does not pack well for me and is hard to keep lit.

I was not impressed with this tobacco. I found that I had to put the pipe down and then relight it over and over again. After a bit, about half way down the bowl I had a very unpleasant taste.. bitter. I did mix it 25% with a untreated tobacco and found it more to my liking. It may be that I just don't like very heavy infused tobaccos. I will try another batch and see how that goes.

This is a very fine smelling tobacco for an aromatic, but after smoking this, I found out I do not like aromatics. The people around me at the coffee shop enjoyed it.

Mocha Black has a slight coffee aroma in the bag but little, if any, flavor at the match.
A very smooth but ultimately bland and boring black cavendish.
