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.

You can taste the grass, citrus and light dark fruit and earth from the Virginia a little, but it certainly takes a back seat to the chocolate, caramel and mint. The caramel is very mild, and the mint isn't all that strong either, though you will notice it. The chocolate takes center stage all the way through, but the flavor is rather artificial. Has very little nicotine. Won't bite. It needs some dry time, and even then, burns a tad slow with a fairly consistent flavor. Leaves some moisture in the bottom of the bowl, and needs a few relights. The after taste is okay. Not an all day smoke.

I love this stuff. The mint is detectable easily to me, the chocolate is less discernible. I really enjoy the light mint flavor. This could work as an all-day smoke for me. It can be coaxed to bite IF smoked very aggressively, but under normal puffing is very gentle and friendly, with no bite. As aforementioned in another review, it still tastes good when re-lighting a bowl half-smoked and left a while or forgotten.
At less than $5 for 2 oz., this stuff is a bargain and might possibly become my stand-by smoke.
REVISED: i hate this stuff - after over-smoking it, the flavors of moss and mouthrot overcame me...i jettisoned what else i had to my landlord who favors most anything. apologies for my previous overly favorable review. i became sickened with this blend and could not relive my pipes of it soon enough.

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.
