Chocolate for an English Smoker....

[latoyii]

In search of that perfect mix. I enjoy Two Friends English Chocolate but would like a little more chocolate and a little more latakia. Bob's Chocolate Flake is a favorite at this point but is missing a little something.. Can't get my hands on GQ's Chocolate Vanilla in the US. Any recommendations? Cheers--lt

It's vanilla, not chocolate, but if you like sweet latakia mixtures you're bound to like Sutliff Aromatic English 504c.

Also not chocolate, but aromatic english blends I like include Country Squires Hunting Creek and Northwest Trek, Sutliff Burma Road, Count Pulaski, and Aromatic English, Watch City Stardust, and my favorite, Sillem’s Black.

Bobs chocolate is the best there is,also S Gawith Chocolate flake (has more chocolate flavour to my taste)

You could buy some straight latakia and add your own ; to taste.

As said Bob's Chocolate is probably the best for mix of chocolate and Latakia.
Not Latakia in but I found the most chocolate taste is, despite the name, GH Scotch flake. It is more chocolate than Bob's Chocolate.

I love Bob's Chocolate Flake and Two Friends English Chocolate. I get ZERO chocolate from Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake though.

For those interested in chocolate tobacco, please see the following threads:

• Chocolate Flake Discussion
• Samuel Gawith's Kendal Mayor's Collection Chocolate Flake
• All About Bob’s Flake

Thank you for the input and advice! I did read the links provided by kschatey--very interesting. Thank you! I was able to find some SG Chocolate Flake and it is enroute. I also decided to order Stonehenge Flake from GLP. I'm equally excited to give it a try given that I already enjoy the Two Friends English Chocolate. It will be interesting to measure the similarities and differences. As for Sillem's Black, it looks like I will have to wait for some availability. It sounds a little "sweet" to me but I am willing to give it a go. I appreciate each of your comments. Cheers!--lt

 

[latoyii]

Well. So far I have Bob's Chocolate Flake (GH), Kendal Mayor's (SG), English Chocolate (2Friends), Stonehenge Flake (GLP) and I am working on getting Chocolate Vanilla (GQ). GQ seems to be a tough one to get to the states but I am trying. Stay tuned! Cheers--lt

Weird! Why is it no longer Sillem’s? Did they drop their whole line of tobacco? I really loved their Commodore Flake (very similar to McConnell’s Lat Flake IMO). Actually all the Sillem’s Flakes were top notch. I used to love Sillem’s Black many years ago but I must have smoked too much early on as I can’t stand the stuff anymore.

I've only had two chocolate topped tobaccos, Bob's Chocolate Flake, and Sutliff Match Ready Rubbed. BCF, depending on the batch, can taste more carob-like than chocolate, but the Match RR beats it, I think, on all days where chocolatey taste is concerned. On the best of days, Match RR can be a bit like drinking a mug of cocoa.

I was thinking the same about burley blends... there is definitely a chocolate / cocoa / molasses thing going on in various degrees with different burley blends. OP might want to give some burley a shot.
