**I would put money on this blend being a copy of Tastemaster by the same company. Both amazing aromatics if you like chocolate!**
I have to agree with the positive reviews of Chocolate SIlk. I do not agree with Samhain's review regarding McClelland using inferior leaf in this top shelf aromatic, for one i don't think McClelland purchases any inferior leaf and even if they did, they sure wouldn't use it in a tin with their name on it (or a national pipe clubs) they would do that with a bulk offering.... Where people get their information for opinions is mind boggling. Anyways CS is soft, smooth and very Chocolaty. McClelland makes some wonderful Aromatics and this is right up there with the best! I have tried several Chocolate blends and CS is downright amazing, compliments everywhere I go, women, dogs, kids, everyone just loves the aroma. Actually Lilly Bell, my Japanese Chin goes absolutely crazy when I light up a bowl!

I am a big fan of the Greater Kansas City Pipe Show due to the terrific hospitality put on by the club's membership and the job they do in putting on a quality, fun show. I am also a long-time fan of the hard working people at McClelland's and the way they support pipe shows around the country by not only participating as a vendor, but for providing special "show blends" as well.
For non-aromatic and aromatic fans, Chocolate Silk should be a bell ringer as a change of pace tobacco with unique flavor. There is nothing else out there like it. The Virginia is of outstanding quality and the Cocoa/Chocolate misted Black Cavendish is done with expert care. It burns evenly and doesn't goop up your pipe. The flavoring is "fun," and the Virginia leaf presents itself to the point where the smoker knows he/she is puffing on tobacco. Dark Chocolate in bitter sweet bursts enhances the experience.
While this blend will not go down as one of the all-time great tobacco blends, it is exactly what it was created to be and for that I award Chocolate Silk four stars.

I really like this blend, its the first time I really noticed a chocolate flavor in a tobacco. I tend to like aromatics and dark cavendish so this blend is quite nice. I smoke this blend slowly so no problem with tongue bite. It is a bit on the pricey side so I will not make this an everyday smoke but I definitely will keep this on hand when I want a nice leisurely smoke. A really good beginners blend.
