Hey all, like the title says, I'm looking for other blends like Bob's Chocolate. I know that part of this is chocolate flavoring, and I have tried a few other chocolate blends, but none of them remind me much of bob's. I think it may be more the fact that there is a very small amount of Latakia in there, and very small amount of Burley as well. I'm thinking those are the kind of blends I'm looking for.

When I started smoking a pipe, I loved Latakia and couldn't get enough, and then, one day, it just tasted bad to me. Now I'm finally learning that a pinch of it can add this creaminess to a smoke that I can't get enough of and I'm wondering what other blends just dip their toes into the Latakia.

What are yalls favorite blends like this?

thanks in advance.

Its not as much chocolate as Makhuwa but HH Burley flake has subtle notes. It would probably be tasty with a hit of lat. Id suggest getting a tin or a coupld of oz of blending lat and experimenting. I find it nice to be able to control condiments. I prefer to salt and pepper my own food.
