Tasting Notes

Initial Impression

The first pinch reveals deep, authentic cocoa—rich and immediate, with the smooth warmth of raw chocolate ganache. A gentle bitterness grounds the sweetness, pure and direct, akin to the first bite of unsweetened dark chocolate.

Mid-Stage Transition

The profile develops as roasted nut character emerges—toasted almonds and walnuts bringing their distinctive warmth. A subtle oiliness and satisfying depth interweave with the cocoa, creating immediate, layered complexity.

Base Notes

A toasted bread warmth settles in as the foundation—akin to fresh wholemeal toast straight from the oven. The slightly caramelised quality provides a comforting, grounding base that evokes the atmosphere of an afternoon bakery.

Finish

MLU concludes with the cocoa returning in softer form—gentler and more lingering than the opening. The bittersweet notes carry traces of nut and toast, layer upon layer, persisting long after. A contemplative finish that rewards unhurried appreciation.

Maker Comments

MLU - The Contemplative Cocoa

MLU stands apart from its siblings—the only blend in the Xun Xiang range to forgo menthol entirely. This was a deliberate choice: rich cocoa and dark chocolate demand warmth, not cooling. The bittersweet profile unfolds slowly, revealing earthy depth and complexity that rewards unhurried appreciation. This is a snuff for moments of quiet reflection.

Produced using Xun Xiang's traditional aromatic methods rooted in classical Chinese incense techniques (Xiang Dao), MLU represents the more contemplative side of their craft. The tobacco, matured in ancient cellar-storage conditions, asserts itself more prominently here, interweaving with the cocoa to create genuine depth. For those who prefer substance over sweetness, MLU offers a full-bodied experience that lingers long after the pinch is complete.
