This tobacco is surprisingly sweet and taste like a chocolate cake. It took me a little while to figure out how it burns.. it is a slow burner and you have to use your tamp a little to keep it burning. The hint of latakia is nice. Sometimes it is hea... Read More

这款草到手后用过几把烟斗认真品吸，醒草时间长，燃烧很慢，巧克力香味很浓郁，L草作为轻轻点缀，起到点睛之笔，劲道让人满意约3.0的劲道，层次变化不多，香气表现稳定，属于微调拉草，这样的调配功力的确很棒！

I have had mixed results with the bulk flake, so ordered this in the tin. While I don’t usually let the bulk flakes dry before smoking I decided to try something I read briefly on one of the tobacco forms. Before folding and stuffing I microwaved for... Read More
10 seconds in the microwave (5 seconds, and then 5 seconds for a total of 10 seconds). The tobacco came out slightly warm to the touch and while initially wet that moisture quickly evaporated. Folded and twisted into my large bowl Meerschaum pipe fitted with a 3mm paper tube filter in the stem. Wow. Char lighting started with a slight Latakia forward smoke that settled into an true light of balanced tobacco flavor with a slightly sweet Smokey creamy smoke that lasted over 2 hours (a single flake mind you). I think I can finally say that Bob’s chocolate flake is a wonderful product offering. There was still quite a bit of moisture captured by the paper filter tube, but oh my, what a wonderful, balanced smoking experience every so slightly floral but not in the usual Lakeland sense, dancing in my pipe with the soft Latakia poking up to fold back into the sweet light baking coco flavor coating my entire palette in this wonderful smooth sweetness that never became harsh. Undortunately, my palatte did begin to fatigue but definitely one of my new favorite pipe tobaccos and a very successful experiment in preparation!!! Read Less

刚开盖的时候，会闻到一股非常奇怪的味道，既不是拉草的皮革味，也不是V草特有的的酸梅子味，而是近似一股药物或者塑料味，总之是很难形容的味道（我个人觉得很像草发霉的味道，当时开盖吓了一跳），但是别被这股怪味吓到，这味道在你点火之后就像魔术师在你面前欺骗了你的嗅觉一般彻底改变，又变回了熟悉的普通轻拉草的香味。这不算结束，这款草绝妙的地方，就在于他随时在变幻着他的魅力点，V草的甜味伴随着点火后独有的木香变得格外妖娆，其他朋友说能体会出巧克力味很可惜我没品尝出来，但是我感觉到他的变化非常丰富，前中后段都有... Read More
伴随着那股奇怪味道燃烧后独有的芬芳，时刻挑战着你的味蕾和鼻腔。不过这款草室韵有点欠佳，那股奇怪的味道在挥发出来让我的朋友们退避三舍（哈哈哈），如果你有幸拥有这款草，要么一个人独自品吸，要么就得拉着周围的人一起享受，否则身边的朋友会揍你的~~ Read Less

I really wanted to like this - You get a faint hint of a neutral cocoa flavor, but it is mostly hidden by the soapy Lakeland aroma & flavor. It is not bad tobacco, but the lakeland soap just kills what would otherwise be a great tasting blend

但是感觉不如另一款立体切
March 12, 2023
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bob's Chocolate Flake Bulk
这款草和另一款bob立体切都属于巧克力味英式调味，这款可能因为L草含量更多口味上感受更偏英式一些，烟气中烟熏皮革奶香更明显，个人觉得巧克力味没有bob切片足，可能跟斗和状态有关系，不过慢慢的抽吸还是能感受到巧克力的香甜的。改天再尝试。

Fast forward..I've now smoked a handful of bowls of it and I must say..it's quite enjoyable. The chocolate note is pure dark cocoa. When combined with the smoky Latakia it tastes like a fresh baked brownie.. rich, savory, lightly sweet, and a very creamy mouthfeel. I like to rub it out and let it sit for about 15 minutes before packing up.
If you're an English smoker who detests aromatics but would like a dessert-type smoke, there is none better than Bob's Chocolate Flake. Read Less

아주 진한 화장품 냄새가, 화장품 냄새를 좋아 하십니까
그것도 싸구러 화장품
초콜릿맛은 사무엘거위스 초콜릿 플레이크 보다 확실히
더 진함니다 단지 화장품 냄새가 진하다는것

I expected more chocolate taste from this tobacco but all I got was a soapy taste smoke that burned really hot.The aroma for bystanders is pleaseant though. I got compliments on the aroma but for me the taste just was not there.

This isn't your traditional chocolate tobacco. This stuff is actually good. As mentioned by one of the reviewers above, it's more a savoury chocolate - like straight cocoa. Burns cool, smokes smooth and has a great taste. Also great when mixed with L... Read More
ane Limited LL-7. Blend about 1 part LL-7 with 1/2 part Bob's and you're in for a treat. Blended right, they give a full chocolate flavour. You know the type you've been looking for? Yeah, that. A nice, sweet milk chocolate flavour with that cocoa edge in the background. Add hazelnut and it's Nutella. Read Less

This is a great smoke! Good flavour, great aroma, great smoke with a little zig( bite ). I have gotten good complements about the "smell" of my pipe when I have been smoking this, from nonsmokers no-less.
May well be my new favorite

I am a big fan of flakes and have liked the mix Virginia and Burley for years. I smoke Erinmore Flake most of the time but decided to give this a try. I was impressed by the smoothness. The Virginia and Burley flavors blend nicely with the Lataki... Read More

Nice But Misses the Mark

(Another) subjective review... Apologies to those flake lovers out there. I don't mind Orlik Golden Sliced and it is in my regular rotation. I like Best Brown a lot and Capstan as well but Uncle Bob's Chocolate Flake leaves me puzzled. There is s... Read More
omething there for sure but for me it is hidden (well) below the topping/casing or sugars that carry the chocolate element. I find that this tobacco (like many an aromatic) hides the key element; that being the actual tobacco. The cocoa casing is just too much in the forefront. Yes, it is smooth. Yes it burns cool and evenly. I just need more tobacco flavour. Yes, it is an English aromatic flake but it misses the mark somehow. I'm hoping it will grow on me but so far... Read Less

Though I am not usually keen on 'flavored' blends I still find this an enjoyable smoke.

Smokey leather

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bob's Chocolate Flake Bulk
My first foray into latakia. Like toasty campfire and scotch, it was a very rich and prominent smoke. It tasted to me of quality leather, antique stores and cedar wood. Quite a savoury and supple smoke, and not without a significant kick, so smoke li... Read More

I am pretty much a fan of Virginias, and Va-pers. The Latakias were a little too much for me. But I like Chocolate, and a friend sent me some Bobs Chocolate Flake. This has turned out to be my favorite Chocolatey tobacco. And it opened the door , for... Read More
