What It Tastes Like
No professional tasting of this cigar turned up, so we won’t invent notes. The maker’s product name makes chocolate the added flavor; its listing gives wrapper, strength and sizes, with no flavor description.
Who It’s For
- Dessert-minded smokers drawn to a chocolate-flavored cigar.
- People new to cigars looking for a short, mild-to-medium flavored option.
- Anyone sampling the dipped range who wants a flavor not named for a spirit, unlike the whisky and rum dips.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Robusto length suits a shorter break than the Toro or Chairman
- Blue Mountain puts it at mild to medium
- A chocolate flavor for smokers who would rather skip the whisky- and rum-named dips
Cons
- We found no independent review or score to judge it by
- The maker names only the wrapper leaf; binder and filler go unlisted
About the BMC Dipped Range
Blue Mountain’s Dipped Cigars collection runs to about 30 listings, with coffee, fruit, wine and spirit flavors among them. Sources describe the company’s base differently: its own About Us page says Jamaican-born founder Marvin Wright makes cigars in Nicaragua today, while halfwheel calls it a Jamaica-based company.
Pairing and Storage
Our cigar pairing guide points milder cigars toward champagne, light lager or white rum. Consider keeping it apart from unflavored cigars so the chocolate scent stays put; our humidor basics guide covers humidity and setup.

Blue Mountain French Chocolate Robusto FAQ
What gives the Blue Mountain French Chocolate Robusto its flavor?
The chocolate comes from a dip. Blue Mountain sells it as BMC Dipped in French Chocolate and files it with its dipped cigars, though the maker does not explain how the dipping is done.
Is French Chocolate the same as Blue Mountain’s Calypso Rum Chocolate?
No. Calypso Dipped in Genuine Rum Chocolate is its own listing in the maker’s catalog, and halfwheel’s PCA 2022 coverage listed Rum & Chocolate among the Calypso flavors, with a July 2022 release date. French Chocolate is sold under the BMC Dipped name.
How long is the Robusto, and what bigger sizes exist?
It is 5 inches with a 50 ring gauge. The same dip comes in two longer formats: Toro (6 x 52) and Chairman (6 x 60).
Is there an expert score for it?
None we could locate. We found no published review of it from Cigar Aficionado, halfwheel or Cigar Coop, so we list no score.
