Highly aromatic. A quality blend of Golden and Black Cavendish flavoured with a continental mocha essence. A true "Dessert" tobacco. A rare taste treat.
Got this out of curiosity more than anything. The jar scent is chocolately-vanilla, but has a kind of cheap overtone...like a stale cup of mocha.
First of all, it tastes absolutely nothing like a cappuccino. The taste is mild and not entirely offensive, but I can't really place what it is...almost like a cheap chocolate-flavored creamer or something.
It burns evenly and was surprisingly cool for a heavily-cased aromatic. Didn't cause me any tongue bite whatsoever, which is why it gets 2 stars instead of 1.
The only really positive thing about this is the mild, pleasant room-note that really doesn't linger. Again, smells nothing like coffee, but is still very pleasant and goes away fairly quick.
But "Cappuccino"? No way. More like "Unidentified Dark Liquid".
There are a lot of Lane tobaccos which I really like, but this isn't one of them. To me the taste is off kilter. I drink Cappuccinos, and this stuff isn't even close to a Cappuccino flavor. Tried it in several pipes, and the tongue bite is really excessive. I had about 2 oz. of this, and it went out with the trash. Not my cup of tea...
If this is the same stuff I am thinking of, which Tinderbox sells, then I say they should go back to the drawing board.
To me it tasted like the stuff those "head shops" use as a front so they can sell "tobacco, Ha Ha, wink wink" pipes (You know, those bongs and crack pipes).
This stuff had as much personality as a flavored cigarette. Perhaps I was expecting another "cafe supreme", What I got was second rate lawn clippings. With a little bit of aroma put in the jar.
That's just my opinion. It is coming from someone who likes Cpt Black, so Take it as you will.
