Mostly black in the tin with a heavy scent of nougat and basic black Cavendish. Extremely wet and sticks to the fingers right out of the tin. I smoked one bowl at tin moisture and it was predictably goopy, although not as much as I feared. I dried out the next 3 bowls and the goop lessened while the flavor remained. This contained both narrow ribbons (the brown) and fat ribbons (black).

I found this one interesting if not particularly enjoyable. The flavoring was applied with a more conservative hand than the Caramel Rush I recently smoked. The black Cavendish ruled and it was a typical black cav flavor. The chocolate seemed to be applied to the more brown tobacco and it was light, while the nougat flavoring may have been applied to the dark tobacco, which was slightly heavier. Not quite zero tobacco taste but if the taste of tobacco is what you're looking for, you probably aren't an aromatic fan. As has been said before, once you discover the benefits of a non-aro, it's not easy to enjoy aromatics much. This one fit that adage quite nicely. Nothing amiss on this one from an aro point of view, as this one was typical - nothing special. I mixed the remainder of this with some C&D Kelly's Coin and got something moderately enjoyable with a nice "chocolate tobacco" flavor. By itself, this might make a pleasant dessert tobacco but I prefer my blends more natural. If you're an aro fan, you likely won't be disappointed with this. If you're not a fan, this probably won't turn you into one.
