Chocolate Aromatic Blends

C&D A Corncob Pipe and Button Nose is a great cocoa blend. As in it tastes like hot chocolate. The room note is so awesome it makes strangers smile at you.

Hate is a strong word. Maybe I’ll try a few more blends… I do like Cult Blood Red Moon, which has a dark chocolate note, along w/its cherry and vanilla flavors.

If you prefer a subtler cocoa top note, and not full-on “chocolate bar,” and don’t mind a floral Lakeland top note as well, GLP Stonehenge and G. H. & Co Bob’s Square Cut are both pretty awesome. Especially Stonehenge.

Have you also tried Sutliff’s Chocolate Supreme?

I haven’t tried the supreme m, but I have had sutliff’s Zurich delight, dark chocolate and mocha slices (blended in with voodoo queen as well). The supervalue stuff - which is coincidentally blended by sutliff anyways - is my preferred out of all of them.

You may want to give Prince Albert a try (or one of the matches). I get a slight top note of cocoa from it, which I believe is intentional in the blend. It's not a "oh! chocolate!" blend, but it's there, just subtle.

Have you also tried Sutliff’s Chocolate Supreme? I’ve had my eye on the Zurich Delight for a while as a blending component, but ultimately went with the Chocolate Supreme. Interested to know how the two compare from someone who has tried both...

@BarrelProof:

I've tried it and looking back, not sure why I went with the "Zurich Delight" over the "Chocolate Supreme." I'd venture to guess that after trying several blends, I went with the one that had a more cocoa-like essence/flavor.

On blending: I've mixed "ZD" with "Prince Albert" and came up with something similar to the re-issued Mac Baren "Burley - London Blend." I was looking for and found something more pronounced over nuance.
