The Virginias are just a little noticeable, sweet and grassy. The black cavendish has the vanilla you expect it have, and it plays well with the creamy rich chocolate topping. Has almost no nicotine. Burns clean and cool at a moderate pace with a consistent flavor that never weakens. Needs few relights, and leaves very little moisture in the bowl. No bite or harshness, and the after taste is as pleasant as the smoking experience and room notes. An easy going all day smoke.

A very light flavor of chocolate but a nice Virgina taste when smoking. In the bag it smells a bit like Cocoa and my bag arrived as a 1lb. with perfect moisture levels. I smoked this fresh out of the bag and it was light weight and pleasant. I enjoyed the refreshing change from smoking English blends and heavier tobaccos that I also enjoy often. I smoke about 10-20 pipe bowls a day on average. This was an all day smoke and one that I would compare to Lane's 1Q for it's no bite, low taste but pleasant profile but the not the same in flavor. The chocolate is really noticed more as aroma than anything. Compared to Sutliff and the heavier flavor they impart to their aromatics (if you know them) is tasted as well as very aromatic. This is not that kind of aromatic. It is a dry smoke (no moisture in the pipe) and very light so that you have more of that true tobacco taste. I could see myself enjoying this in public without fear of offending others olfactory senses while still feeling that I am smoking a quality tobacco that is not candy. This is a unique aromatic and has me curious to try other offerings by McClelland in their bulk aromatics line.

I bought 4 oz of this to try my hand at blending a chocolate Latakia blend. A basic chocolate aromatic comprised of fairly high quality leaf. Packs and lights well, doesn't burn too wet. Mixing it with a bit of McClelland bulk Latakia produced a terrific smoke. Smoking this on its own was uneventful, but left a quite pleasing room note. I think this one is on par with Super Value Chocolate.

This is good light aromatic blend that burns very clean with no tongue bite even though it burns a little on the hot side (would suggest a thick walled pipe and maybe even a good churchwarden). The chocalate is there but descreet, the overall smoke is pleasent but not overpowering. As for aroma, it got wife's stamp of approval, when a blend gets thumbs up from her it has a very pleasant room note.
Added note, set the pipe down for a rest after charring light and then go back to for a little extra.
