NOTES:

Engaging notes of black cherry & cocoa buttery cedar. Smooth & tingly at the same time. Toasted and roasted, simultaneously. A certain citrusy tanginess to the pepper-spices of white/black/red/cayenne, cinnamon, paprika, chili powder. 

Undertones to the aforementioned overtones: brown sugar, cola, leather. Milk chocolate fills it up in the 2/3 & onward. Finish is a sweet tangy residual of draw notes on lengthy-legs and a definite Merlot at the far-end. Complex, nuanced, excellent.

Burns straight and grows solid ash from there. I break off the burnt offerings in thirds. Draw exhibits a perfect tension, evenly-so. Big smoke out-put both passive and active builds a fruity spicy leathery room-note.

FINAL GRADE: A-
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
