Check out my write-up and talkie re: this JSK offering HERE.
Smoke out-put is just this side of intense. Room-note is driven by that aromatic pipe tobacco with a fruity sweet whisper. Nathan Lane leans into yer ear, "You look great to-day." A roasted meatiness comes on with a load a' cream. Is this thing even kosher? I text my Rabbi and we set a date to meet next week over cigars.
Draw firms up a half-tick but still stays in the same medium+ realm. Smoke-hole satiation ain't adversely affected. Actually, let's call body and flavors now full. Strength is a medium+ and rather calm lo, robust. Pack softens two ticks, seams hold. Line ribbons un-egregiously so. Ash hums along prettily complected as always. Elaborate and of excellent quality -- the band removes sans tsuris.
I'm a big fan of black and white era TV shows. It was the other blog idea I had before settling on this Shemp's Last Day motif. Alas and happily, here I be. That being said, tho, just this very morning I saw the Petticoat Junction opoening theme. First time. Quite creepy, really. I could delve further, but --
Packing re-firmed at mid-band and makes for a well-constructed nub. Smoke warms but nicely so. A dollop of leathery oils shows me the toothpick, then the door. A quite nice first of 18 Sabbaths Serie II. Already, I am looking forward to the next. I see candle lighting is barely after 4pm... ah, winter. Ah, death. There ya thought I was gonna end on a high-note, gentlepersons.

This is Serie II of my 18 Sabbaths project. Please read all about it HERE.

Big red spices and black to red peppers outta the gate. Sweetness comes up from underneath as the zetz settles... rides on a cloud of creamy leathery stuffs. The burn-line strays to find its own even off an out-doors and closed-foot match lighting. Ah, the ol' closed-foot v Shaggy-foot debate. Does that even exist? It doth in my mind, gentlepersons. Ya see, a closed-foot offers a blast of top-leaf, in theory. In practice, you'll be smoking that same top-leaf all the way to Nubbsville, Daddy-O. Shaggy-footed offerings, humsoever, allow for a potentially interesting peek at fillers alone. So there. Sweetness picks up in a rich cocoa butter note coupled with the JSK familiar maraschino to black cherry liltings. Saddle leather braces, covering the compost and barnyard under-belly. Do I taste manure? Yums.
Draw is an even tension'd medium+ resistance. Smoke is delivered throatily at onset, then smooths to a rich velvet mouth-feel. Excellent moisture level. Slight peppery tongue-tingle. Long-legged finish of a darkly aromatic pipe tobacco core orbited by sweetnesses. Ends cleanly and sans chemical attachment. Ash is pearl white sheath. Toothy shaft burns to silver flecks. Pack stays its pre-light medium+ density against lighting. Seams remain nigh invisible. Burn-line has yet to catch itself up to even, but no woes are foretold.
I get a darker chocolate now. Some molasses, and a burgeoning sarsaparilla underneath a French roasted java note. My wife turns to me sez: "Why are you stressed?" I shalt end the first act on that punch-line, gentlepersons. No set-up.

Salt and sugarcane roast together on my cheeks and lips. -Full body. Ditto re: flavors. Strength is a looming-nigh menace. A lion yet to wake? Still, there is ample back-bone to brace quite heady heights. I roll off the entire collected burnt offerings into my $0.99 Walmart ashtray. Dense, cool. Oils, but dried ones. I take the opportunity to draw the next puff into my Dollar Store hand mirror. Nice even combustion twixt fillers and binder -- wrapper may be a tick cooler. Burn is paced well and sees the line evening out, at last. No re-touch. Rye malts emerge. A darker grain -- kasha.Smoke out-put is just this side of intense.

Peppers soften, but are still a thing, verily. French roast to espresso soars with a neat crema atop. Riding shot-gun is a cordial cherry. Earth under-belly pulls into tobacco core richly densely -- sinfully, epis! Toasty smoky. A dark nut comes on, cue Kanye West. It seems to emanate from the earthy bits, wherest perchance it were all-along. Hits cream and then pastes -- adds to over-all chew. Malt hits grain and mimics a bit a' booziness.I'm a big fan of black and white era TV shows. It was the other blog idea I had before settling on this Shemp's Last Day motif.
