Early summer I received a a small mystery sample with a tobacco order which had a background flavor of chocolate. (yeah, I forgot where it came from) I smoked it up and thought no more about it, went back to my usual VAs and was happy. I recently had a yen for chocolate flavor and ordered some Chocolate Silk hoping it would hit the spot.
Black Cavendish and golden Virginias are seasoned with dark chocolate and nougat to create a smooth, elegant evening smoke, gentle yet full-flavored.
Just as the description says there's a 70/30 mix (est.) of cavendish to light colored VAs. The tin smell is of molasses and a slight hint of cocoa. A bit of drying time was needed but it lit nicely and evenly. The flavor is slight, lacking the cocoa backbone I hoped for. I can best describe it as "sweet" without any real direction. It burns well enough and I waited for some flavor to develop as it wandered down the bowl, but it didn't happen. Room fragrance is pleasant coming from a cob, meer lovat, and briar bulldog. As a disclaimer, I've never been sharp on picking out flavor nuances from tobacco. Hints of leather and oak evade me and my taste buds, it seems, have retired. This blend didn't do it for me, but YMMV.
