advice about 'black mortar' for 1920s house

hello

i am wondering if anyone can advise me on the ingredients of "black mortar". the mason that will repoint our house has asked us to get the bags of mortar. he said, oh that's black mortar..i asked if he meant the color and he said well yes, it mixes up black but it's just called black mortar and it comes in 80 pound bags. called the concrete place in town and they had never heard of this. another person that looked at the house used the same term, "black mortar" and distinguished it from portland cement. anyone have any idea what this is? or who might carry it? thanks in advance.. kren
