I bought it searching for the thrill of the mint. Find none, or at least, perhaps its overshadowed by the chocolat topping and only very vaguely you perceive a glimpse of the freshness from the mint mentioned, for the rest it is chocolat all the way to China. The virginias act promptly after lighting and wander around your palate diverting it with its stingy bits rounded by the chocolat and moka notes. But there is not much else than this, just tonalities of the same flavour and as said beforehand the vague note of fresh mint in the back, so vaguely that you have to try hard to find it. Nevertheless it is a pleasant all day smoke and reminds me a bit of Sir Walter Raleigh with its classic yet basic taste, once again, a good blend for novices who want to distinguish tastes and dynamics without getting lost in more complex blends.

Part of me wants to harsh on this blend, but I cannot. You see, this is the king of "wife pleasers" in a lot of ways. Its room note is so nice that I have had people come over to compliment me on what I was smoking.
Besides the roomnote, I have to say this is the most random tobacco I have ever smoked. I have smoked a half-dozen bowls of this, and every single one of them has tasted different and had a different strength. Once, its flavor was dead on and probably the best combination I have ever had in my pipe. Once, it tasted kind of like "sour plastic" (whatever that means, it just came to mind). I have never gotten a buzz off of this one, but it makes a good work pipe. It has enough nic to relax me on stressful days, and is pleasant for those around me.
It has an annoying tendency to not stay lit for more than five-ten minutes. It also feels moist after drying for a couple of weeks, which probably does not bode well for the topping they used in this one. I would recommend using a pipe that you are fine with taking a little splatter.
If you are an aromatic lover, or are looking for blend to smoke around people who are want to complain, this might be a great blend for you.

Not sure I understand the name Chocolate Mint. I get little or no chocolate nor any mint in this blend. There is some fruity flavor but very little. It is not a bad smoke but the name is very misleading.
