McClelland No. 105 Chocolate Mint
(2.31)
This combination of our special black and golden Virginia leaf lightly flavored with chocolate mint dressing is rich enough in flavor to be a superb evening smoke.

My first bowl of this tobacco was pleasant. The flavor was nice and the smoking characteristics were also good. My second bowl smoked OK, but it didn't taste too good; I don't think I even finished the bowl. The other characteristics of this tobacco are similar to McClelland's 710 blend, so you can read my 710 review. A lot of what I said in that review applies here (horrible humectants included).

Chocolate Chip Mint is my favorite ice cream, but you won't find that flavor in this one. Sticky with PG (which I could take if it tasted really good), you get neither tobacco flavor or enough casing flavor to make this interesting. In fact, I couldn't taste any mint. This comes off as a tobacco store jar aromatic featuring chocolate and other good smelling stuff. Wonderful pouch and room aroma. Very hard to keep lit.

When I am in the mood for a true "dessert" tobacco, or when my tongue is crisped from an unfriendly Virginia, or when I want something really, really different, I smoke the occasional bowl of this stuff. It is not at all your goopy drugstore aromatic and although a bit wet it smokes well with no bite and nary a gurgle. This tobacco doesn't especially taste "minty," but it does taste like a sweet chocolate, and it never tastes like tobacco. I am careful to smoke this in an "aromatic-only" pipe, and so am happy with it on the rare occasions I smoke it. I don't think you'd want to smoke this in one of your dedicated Virginia or English pipes as I suspect the flavor would linger longer than you'd like. But if you want a bit of dessert tobacco, it'll do just fine.
