English Chocolate

English Chocolate sits in the aromatic-English wing of the Two Friends line. Turkish Latakia is added to red and light Virginia leaves and the blend is pressed, then broken into flake; this cut makes packing easier while retaining the density the pressing gives. The maker's description highlights creamy cocoa notes.

On the smoke, the chocolate casing layers over Latakia's smoke; the result is a profile that is neither a plain aromatic nor a full English blend. Nicotine is low and the flavor body is medium. A fitting structure for smokers wanting to try Latakia smoke alongside a sweet casing, or to get used to flake cut.
