Cocoa Topped Tobacco Recommendations?

[kitchnsink52]

I've been smoking Carter Hall more and more recently. In the beginning all I got was ash, but now I am picking up on the cocoa topping and the burley nuttiness and I absolutely love it. My only complaint (if you can even call it that) is that I wish the cocoa taste were a little stronger. When you open up the tub you're greeted with this incredible, rich, chocolate smell. It's definitely there in the smoke, I just wish there were a liiittle more of it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a tobacco that would be similar to Carter Hall, with a little more of that cocoa goodness?

I haven't tried Carter Hall yet, so I don't have a great basis for comparison, but I do get a lot of cocoa from Sutliff Match Ready-Rubbed.

C&D Mocha is the most chocolate thing I've tried. Then bobs chocolate flake.

This stuff has a definite cocoa puff vibe imo but it's a yearly (?) limited release and I'm not sure when the next release will be.

+1 for Bob’s Chocolate Flake. Dry it thoroughly And enjoy.

HU TIllerman is one of the few I like with a Cocoa topping

Another vote for Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match

Me too on the RR match

Boswell's have a very chocolatey blend.

Didn't work for me because I'd rather EAT chocolate.
I gave the tin to a mate who LOVED it.

Prince Albert is the classic cocoa flavored aromatic codger blend. I find it a little cloying, but many pipe smokers, some of the members here, smoke mostly that. If you like cocoa, you might like that in your rotation.

I seem to like my aromatics flavored with brandy or liqueurs, like GLP Barbary Coast with a blessing of brandy or Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic flavored with three liqueurs. Bourbon or Irish whisky is nice flavoring too.

I also like anisette and/or molasses as in Granger or Mixture No. 79.

Thanks for the recommendations, everybody. I think I'll try to pick up some Sutliffe RR Match and Bob's chocolate flake whenever I'm able, since people got behind those

I'll second @timt on the MacB BLB. Not an overpowering cocoa note, but definitely there. Should satiate the need.

A perhaps lesser known Chocolate baccy is the sorely underrated but deeply delicious Wilke Smoky Chocolate. Not sure what the blender’s intention was but to me it’s a better tasting and more well behaved in the bowl version of Bob’s.

Chocolate covered potato chips are a “thing” so, why not chocolate-tobacco? Have it at.

It’s funny how tastes evolve. I used to thoroughly enjoy MacBarren Burley for just that reason: cocoa. The now extinct Norwood and Burley London Blend were (mild) chocolate blends, not aromatics, but the subtle chocolate common to some burley.

Today, I can’t enjoy cocoa tobacco.

While I'm a big fan of Bob's Chocolate Flake, you should keep in mind that it has latakia. I think it's more noticeable than the chocolate.

Sutliff RR Match has chocolate with molasses. For straight chocolate I'd suggest Mac Baren Golden Extra or Symphony. Symphony has a bit of dark fired Burley and is less sweet.

I would recommend solani aged burley flake

Another good one is GH&Co's Louisiana Perique Flake if you can find it.
