I like tobacco and chocolate too much to try to double up on either of them. My wife is especially fond of dark chocolate, but I enjoy dark and milk chocolate equally. We have a chocolate chip chocolate ice cream we like a lot by Aldens. Trader Joes makes a fine version of peanut butter cups with dark chocolate, and we like Reese's dark chocolate peanut butter cups, and I like them in milk chocolate too.

The chocolate milk flakes called Ovaltine make a good chocolate drink. My wife makes a chocolate cake so good I don't even want frosting on it.

Some of the above are better for a dry cocoa note, but if you want a milk chocolate / tootsie roll kind of topping, I doubt that you can do better than Boswell's No Bite DeLite and Piper's Pleasure. The former does not advertise chocolate, but tastes precisely like a brown tootsie pop. The latter is a vanilla/chocolate combination, and contains noticeable burley.

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 don't know if it's regularly available but C&D Corn Cob pipe and a button nose is an amazingly cocoa flavor. Like it's cocoa and that's all I get from it with a slight hint of burly. It's the type of aromatic I crave really strongly super rarely. But it's for anyone that had a cup of decent cocoa and thought man I wish I could smoke this. The room note is the bomb though. Like the day I popped the tin I walked past a couple on the sidewalk having one of those sad things didn't work out we can still be friends convos. They both stopped and sniffed the air as I got close and got big goofy smiles. And that's pretty much the reaction people have to it.

Better recommendation. Summer is coming! Go to a beach, set up a nice shade, wait for those young ladies who like to bath themselves in coconut smelling suntan lotions. Of course, ladies dig pipe smoker.. Maybe, and you will find out analysing the way that look at you. Go with good smelling grandpa blends that will make them wish to jump on your lap.
