SUMMATION

Acidic in a candied manner. No salted bits to speak of. Lightly bitter'd. Sweet, SWEET. Some bite, but candied as well.  Sugar-coated sour notes. Very smooth texture. No balanced per se -- but well rounded at the same time. Room-note can be smelled in a typhoon* and is reminiscent of a French whore eating Sour Patch candies by the handful.

Clove. CLOVE. Mint. Christmas Spices. Lemonheads. White pepper. Nuts, candies. Apple. Cedar w Lemon Pledge nuance. Dirt/earth. Potpourri sachet. Hay. Ginger ale. Gamey. Venison. Sand. A fungus among us? Is headache (vibe) a flavor? Herbal tea sampler. Boo-Berry cereal. Ivory Snow flakes.

Excellent construction/combustion -- in a typhoon*. Ash is a white solid sheath. Some green spots on top-leaf. Tight seam, even burn and draw which stays cool to the firm nub.

SMOKE TIME

95mins

EDITOR'S NOTES

*Literally. I am smoking an ACID in a typhoon**
**OK, in the effects of a typhoon. We here are experiencing high winds and what will amount to ten inches of rain before it eases. I am on my porch. The actual term, I have just learnt as pertaining to this weather is: "atmospheric river."

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays Kap from the swift completion of his appointed reviews," to paraphrase.
