The grassy, tangy citrusy Virginia is the base of the blend. The nutty, earthy, woody burley plays a support role. The unsweetened black cavendish adds a little sugar. The chocolate topping sublimates the tobaccos a lot, but it lacks depth. The strength is mild, while the taste is a step past that mark. The nic-hit is barely noticeable. Won’t bite or get harsh. Needs some dry time. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace once dried a little, and the flavor is consistent to the finish. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, and requires a few relights. Has a short lived, very pleasant after taste, and room note. An all day smoke with just enough taste to hold your interest.

After trying the SV BC, Super Value Chocolate surprised me with a better taste experience. I really enjoy a sweet chocolatey treat once in a while, snack & tobacco wise. I have tried a couple tobaccos with chocolate/cocoa mixed with other flavorings that I like. This is the first chocolate flavored aromatic I've sampled.
When opening the pouch you get a hint of the chocolate goodness that awaits you upon smoking. The tobacco is a little on the moist side, but not too bad compared to some. It packs decent, a little better when given time to dry a bit.
The chocolate taste starts out nicely the minute the flame touches the tobacco. It's not overly sweet, I'd say moderate at best, which grows more cocoa-ish as you smoke. I think having the cavendish mixed with burley & virginia helps to enhance the flavor. The flavor tends to last better than the straight black cavendish. I did tend to get the bowl a bit hot, but never got a tongue bite.
This being only the 2nd Super Value tobacco I've tried, it fares better taste wise over the black cavendish. The flavor seems to last deeper into the bowl. If you're looking for a value priced chocolate flavored tobacco to try, here it is!

As grocery or drug store economy poly bag tobacs go I would rate Dream Castle's Super Value Chocolate a big pleasant surprise and near the top of such genre. Too many bulk bag tobaccos of the sweet aromatic variety, i.e. rhum, whiskey, cherry, vanilla are often lite on the casing or topping especially if you enjoy your smoking pleasure on the sweeter side.
This one is just about right; you can taste the chocolate/cacao but the tobacco as well which I believe is burley. The Cavendish methodology used in preparing it makes this leaf worthy of a blending upgrade if you wanted to improve the quality and flavour by adding a touch of top shelf chocolate aromatic such as Moca mixture from the Mission Pipe Shop, San Jose, CA.
For price and taste this blend is a "super value" for smokers on a slim budget who find themselves pressured these days by high fed and state tobac excise taxes.

A very pleasant smoke at a great price. The chocolate topping is applied judiciously...it doesn't completely overshadow the tobaccos. It just enhances them.
Super Value Chocolate ships wet, If you load your pipe and smoke it just after opening the pouch or bag, you'll be relighting and relighting, and getting plenty of steam mixed with the smoke. The steam can burn your tongue, and dilutes the flavor and taste of the smoke.
Dry it out before smoking it. I often spread a thin layer of the tobacco on a piece of paper in my office (or at home) and leave it there for a few days. Or load a pipe and let it sit for a couple of days before lighting it up. Once it's dried a bit, you'll enjoy the taste of the tobaccos, with the chocolate running right along side, enhancing them.
This is a good anytime smoke...a steal-deal at the price.

This is surprisingly good for a Drug Store tobacco. Much better than I expected. I bought it to tone down a latakia heavy blend that also burned hot, and it did that as well as adding depth to the overall flavor. On its own, Super Value is a pleasant aromatic that I would not feel at all put out by if it was all I had to smoke. It burns cool, stays lit well, you can taste the tobacco as well as the topping. It did not leave moisture in my Cobs or Briars.

After smoking Two Friends English Chocolate, I set out to blend my own Chocolate aro with Latakia. I ordered up several chocolate blends to try my hand at replicating what I found a truly fantastic English aromatic.
Well, I must say 15 bucks for 12 oz had me worried, but this is a great aromatic! Thanks to the anonymity of the internet, I can say that with out (most) of my friends finding out! Not much in the way of chocolate strength, but not an aro bogged down with fake toppings and PG. Smokes bite free as stated and isn't a mess at the end of the bowl. Leaves a great room note around, and I love coming back into the room I was smoking in, just so I can get a deep whiff of the room note. Don't be afraid, go ahead and get you some!
