North Pole Peppermint Mocha

This is one of the limited blends Sutliff prepares for the holiday season; it was first released in 2021 and has been repeated as a seasonal item in subsequent years. Cocoa, vanilla, and a small amount of mint essence are drawn into a ribbon-cut base of black cavendish, dark burley, and Virginia leaf.

Nicotine is light; the taste that stands out recalls minty hot chocolate. The mint note lingers, so it can leave a lasting trace in the same pipe over time, which is why smoking it in a dedicated pipe is common practice. It falls within the interest of those looking for a seasonal aromatic.
