   If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.

   The more i smoke it the more of the dark bittersweet chocolate flavor comes through.....recommend it after a meal though as it does have a kick.

   It took me a little while to warm up to it, but it has become one of my favorite smokes.
   The latakia stays almost completely hidden in the blend, but I do get the slightest hint of it from time to time through the smoke.

   When I need a chocolate fix this does the trick. Fabulous Virginia Flake and a super review.

   Gonna have to get me some of this stuff. Great review, Bob.

   Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are small and crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

    Bob has a more discerning palette than I do (I have a more whimsical haircut though) because I couldn't taste chocolate in this one at all.

    I agree with hauntedmyst in that the chocolate flavor was really subdued for me, but the lakeland flavor was really at the forefront, and this is the first lakeland blend that I have tried. That being said, I think that the lakeland essence is absolutely delicious, and I cannot say enough good things about it. To me, the chocolate comes through more in the aroma than in the taste, but that flowery, silky smooth essence of the lakeland makes this a winner for me. Great review and great blend, Bob!

    Been debating whether to get a tin of this for a while now. This review seals it though, one to add to the list for the next case of TAD
