NOTES: 
Like buttah. Also, hazelnut coffee, cream. Suuny 'baccy w/ a candied citrus attachment... Lemonheads. A bit of white pepper ground finely into end-of-draw then finish. Those overtones were fun -- now lettuce do undertones... high-up salted caramel. Some pale spices which don't delineate 'nuff to pick apart. Verily, a floral lilt. 

I see a pansy... no, I'm not looking in the mirror. I see a Black-eyed Susan... still not looking in the mirror. Yellow flowers, dig? (Gardening humor.) Sweet & pleasantly complex. Smooth & easy, tho not simple. Fucking nice. Jovial, even.

Smooth easy draw and razor-line burn co-star. Ash grows densely to an easy inch at a time. No hard/soft spots along the barrel. Smoke stays cool to smoke-hole.

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