pipesandcigars.com Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean
(2.40)
Coffee and chocolate are used together in so many foods and drinks that we thought that it was time to offer you a pipe tobacco with these two great flavors. The chocolate flavor is deep and rich, more of a dark chocolate. Then we bring in a black coffee note. To keep the blend from being bitter, we add a creamy vanilla to balance everything.

Pipesandcigars.com - Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean (Russ' Monthly Blend).
Recently, I posted a review on Peterson Special Reserve 2019, another coffee/chocolate aromatic, and this is better!
The mixture contains about 30% black, some of it's fairly coarse but the majority's ribbons, the moisture's good, and it smells nice; although coffee's present, the overall aroma's sweet. So, it doesn't imply an overly astringent coffee flavoured smoke.
The smoke scores high, in my view. The coffee takes a lead over the other components, but isn't the 'only' flavour. The chocolate and vanilla collaborate nicely, giving a sweet, creamy, flavour which keeps the coffee in check. The toppings aren't enough to completely subconrad and smother the tobaccos, but they are running the show. The tobaccos aren't too heavy tasting. Sweet Virginia and coarse Burley are the major players. I don't find it awash with Cavendish. Every bowl has remained free from bite, burnt evenly, medium temperature, and creates fairly thick smoke.
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: nice.

Four stars.
