SUMMATION
High acidity harshness sours smoothness, but doesn’t bite, per se. Very spicy sweet in that order and as progression doth happen, the two meld into a neat complexity and jockey for the lead, each one. Balance is very good there, but suffers some elsewhere in the flavors. Lack of veggies and meatiness, an unsettled generic wood. A shaky leathery earth under-belly. Strength is medium but rattles around that spectrum. Construction is very good/great, particularly given the format of this thin, braided offering. Combustion is a darling, again particularly within this format. Razor burn throughout with pale grey silver-speckled ash, that drops somewhat frequently humsoever. Smoke-output is average+ off both ends with a sweet tobacco room-note which is light ‘nuff to not offend most. Mouth-feel is a nice moisture level’d tingle. Finish is medium legged and sweet beats spicy by a nose, sour by a length. Retro-haling brings up spice and nicely strengthens leathers. Texture smooths out and flavors mellow some in the final third, stays cool to the smoke-hole.

SUMMATION
Way more Maduro (you should know what that means, we shall say "ripe"). Also, a tick saltier and stronger. Quicker burning than its Maduro sis, and more flavorful. Although with less nuance and complexity. All other notes hold firm and fast 'nuff. Smoother textured, but warmer at the nub. Please LISTEN above for a fuller description, gentlepersons.
