I didn't know what to expect from this tobacco. As soon as I opened the package, a strong tobacco-ey smell combined with a bit of sweetness hit me. Although it came a bit moist and required a few hours of drying time with the package open, at room temperature, as soon as I packed my bowl and lit it up after the charring light, it burned quite nicely and rarely went out(every 20-30 minutes).
In the initial smoke I tasted nothing but the woodiness of the virginia tobacco and no sweetness at all. It was still pretty tasty though. After a few bowls, the sweetness finally appeared and since then I'm hooked on this blend. It's delicious! The sweetness stays present through-out the whole bowl, from start to finish. I can't define it as being chocolate/cocoa though. The room note is pretty pleasant. Non-tobacco smokers seem to like the smell. The nicotine punch is pretty mild, but then again it might just be my tolerance(I used to be a cigarette smoker).
I definitely recommend this tobacco to anyone who wishes to relax at lunch time, after a good meal.
Edit: Not an all day tobacco. Tried smoking a 2-3 bowls in one day and ended up dumping the 3rd bowl because it got really boring and had nothing distinctive to keep me going. I recommend this as a treat once in a while. You'll get bored of it if you go for it everyday like I did. Tends to smoke hot, by the way and although dried, your bowl will get really moist and goey after finishing.
