McClelland GKCPC Chocolate Silk

I often wonder how many tobaccos are exactly the same, and this is one. There are so many aromatics blended by McClelland that look, smell and taste just like this.

Tin aroma is awesome, the chocolate and nougat fit well together. It is definitely moist in the tin, but dries to an acceptable level after being opened for a few days. Packs and lights fairly well after drying. Not much tobacco flavor here, but I didn't expect any either. If you are an aromatic smoker, I would not hesitate to recommend this to you.

A nice pleasant aromatic blend. What I like most about this chocolate blend is you still get a nice tobacco flavor. The tin aroma is , as you would expect mostly chocolate with a hint of vanilla. Light up is very easy and first few puffs load you up with chocolate. That last only briefly then the chocolate taste goes to the background along with the hint of vanilla and you get a nice creamy tobacco taste. You get hints of chocolate all through the smoke which I describe as creamy. Burns very cool and no nicotine hit at all. Room note is lightly chocolate aroma. This is not a big chocolate tasting blend but it is a good tasting blend. What I like most about this blend is you receive a nice tobacco flavors, mostly Virginias that hold up this blend as much more than just another chocolate aromatic.

A very rich, heavy brown sugar topping laces the mix that isn't too goopy, giving off a full bodied smoke. Opening the tin is very inviting, you can almost taste the sweetness wafting up to your nose with a mingling of cherry.

Sparking up takes a second as the leaves are a bit sticky. Once you get going your buds flicker between a dark chocolate and milk chocolate tone on top of a meaty tobacco. This is not a candy aromatic that should please most palettes.

A bit muted for a McClelland, but one I quite enjoyed.

I recieved a sample of this from a friend about 1 month ago. The aroma is absolutely intoxicating. It is a very dark tobacco, predominantly black cavendish. It somes in a chunky cut and is a little to the moist side. It packs easily and lights well. I have had many chocolate tobaccos and they all fall short- very short. This was a pleasant surprise. It tasttes very similar to a cup of DARK COCOA. IT is extremely smooth with ZERO bite. Very 1 dimensional- and when I drink cocoa I like 1 dimensional. Sweet and luscious. All aromatic smokers need to try this. 3 stars.

Because of a shortage of SG Chocolate Flake, I went searching for something aromatic with a taste of chocolate as a substitute for the SG. This tobacco is not it. However, it is a fine, fine, smoking experience, if you're in the mood for something light and tasty.

I had my second bowl after dinner with a glass of iced coffee and Miles Davis' Nefertiti on the turntable. I used a large-bowled Johs.

The tobacco is on the moist side and smells great from the tin, as you might expect from an aromatic. Dark chocolate with a hint of fruitiness was what I could pick up. It lit with the first match and stayed lit.

"Chocolate Silk" is the perfect name for this. The chocolate taste is definitely more than subtle, but not overwhelming. It stays consistent throughout the bowl with only a slight hint of Virginia. Maybe just right. And it smokes like pure silk. No bite through the nose or on the tongue. I would prefer more strength, like the SG flake, but that is not what this tobacco is about. The ash from the pipe was fine and white; no gooey mess.

All in all, I'm not sorry I bought it. Time will tell if I buy again but that is just me. If you're looking for a Cavendish with all the right ingredients, this could be it. A very cool smoke in all senses of the word.

found this to be a decent tobacco. smoked in a corn cob pipe and it didnt burn hot or wet. it burned to a grey ash and was a plesent smoke. most liked the tin scent and the smoke scent. all and all i found this to be a good tobacco and would purchase again if i got the opportunity.
