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.

very pleasant in every way without being too 'childish'. zero tongue bite (great!). genuine tobacco flavor, no artificial/chemical taste. I sense little mint though. the chocolate/sweetness taste is subtle and classy. an all day smoke IMHO. at the end of the bowl, it develops into almost pure mild Virginia Flake flavor with much subsided sweetness, nicely done!
Just got Mac Baren's vanilla cream and Pipeworks&Wilke's No.191 and Gramercy Park, Bleeker Street. The P&W stuff are GREAT! I will put my reviews later. Mac Baren's are good too, but a little stronger with noticeable tongue bite. McClelland's Chocolate-Mint stands well in comparison -- best taste than all above, minimal tongue bite, more complex flavor, the nose note is phenomenal! So far my most favorite. Just ordered another pound of it:-)

Ok, I may be going against the grain here with a high recommendation on this. But if you like a topped virginia this is great. Its inexpensive, has a great room note, and mild.. I also looked at the reviews for Bobs chocolate flake and Gawiths.. but because of me being a nicotine weenie I shyed away from them. As with most virginias, I tend to use a peterson P lip which directs the smoke away from the hot spot and to the roof of my mouth... This is a great Dessert tobacco and is not an all day smoke. I could not detect the mint, but the chocolate is there. And if your dieting, smoke this candy treat and stay away from the candy bars. I dont like burleys or the other aromatic burley based tobbacoss out there. My daily smoke tends to be a straight virginia like this companies 5100 so I base a lot of reviews off that benchmark. Flavored topped virginias tend to grab my interest and are a lot rarer that the burley based aromatics out there. This was not goopy and sweet, but burned pretty dry and clean. I recently did some shopping from store to store on a Saturday and had this going in the truck from place to place. Each time I reentered the truck the great room note was there and the pipe DTGed great and relite with ease.. In fact, I have left a few pipes of this laying around and found I can come back to it a day or 2 later with it still tasting great. This is not reviewed very often, and not many places stock it.But seek it out and try it.. I have 1/2 lb cellared and will keep it on hand. Mike
