THE KVELL

Superb medium tensioned draw from wire-to-wire.

Big smoke. No. BIGGER.

Cherry note. Kinda a JSK calling card. Maraschino here.

Finishes clean, especially considering the powerful notes.

Them "powerful notes" do have a nuanced depth.

Grows pretty white ash.

Construction holds tight.

Toasty/creamy meaty chew. I'm full. Malted barley. I'm drunk?

Smoke is cool to the nub.

THE KVETCH

Huge up-front pepper/spice blast that leaves me a tick throaty at onset.

Room-note is a bit sharp.

Burn-line don't find even.

Re-touch is needed beginning of 2/3 to off-set canoe.

Shaft scorches ahead of burn in spots.

Some fleeting flirtations with an astringent vibe.

Malt takes a bit to come on, before it do: band-aid adhesive.

Burn goes out on me at the start of 3/3, just as line evens.

THE KIBBITZ 

I see Genghis Khan riding a stallion bareback over dead bodies. I smell flowers -- threatening flowers sent to a mourning widow after a mafia hit. Speaking of bareback -- don't Ron Jeremy smoke these? Oy gevalt. Tantalizing hardwoods; now I'm just being dirty. Apologies, gentlepersons.

FINAL GRADE

****B+****

OUTRO

This is a dialed-in blend, gentlepersons. Across vitola, it'll treat ya the same. Burn issue (1) bugaboo in a fleeting fashion and not messing with flavors in a Lancero format? Barely a negative. Today I sold a '14 Dodge Charger and pulled an '89 Score Kirby Puckett outta a Dollar Store pack. Barely a negative.
