Is a pure Black Cavendish tobacco.
Notes of Cocoa, Walnuts and Coffee. Is very sweat and slow burning.
Is a ribbon, but large ribbon, is difficult to fill in the bowl, and also more difficult to mantain it lighted. But is good.

I'm a big fan of coffee and black cavendish, so when I saw this still for sale after McClelland closed up shop, I bought 4 ounces. I've only smoked about half, so when I finish it up I will edit if necessary.
I'm sorry to say this wasn't a bell ringer for me, though it's just as well since I'll never get any more. It smells heavenly, good enough to put in the coffee maker, but as is often the case with aromatics, that didn't translate fully into the smoke. It was good - nice, sweet, mild, no bite. Not too goopy and not laden with chemicals. It just wasn't as good as I'd hoped it would be. 3 stars (for now).

The whole point of an aromatic is to experience a flavor beyond the tobacco taste, so it stands to reason that one hopes to taste the listed flavor. To this end I have been on the hunt for a blend with an aroma close to my heart - coffee! As of yet, nothing has knocked my socks off, so I've steered my compass to McClelland, since they have never let me down.
Mocha Black starts off moist, dark, and not overbearing in aroma. There is a whiff of coffee, but it stands behind a deep, hearty, carmally smell I now associate with McClelland. I like to pack the stuff into a larger bowl size to really give it full chompy smoke. Mocha Black is not all that sweet or coffee-like (which I am now thinking just doesn't render well in tobacco), but is deep in body and with some imagination translates into a cup of Joe with no sugar or milk. Just black as the name suggests.

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.

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.
