Seams are tight but not overly and even, verily. A fine tooth over a reddish complexion. Espresso bean marbling over-top, scantly. Excellent medium-oily sheen. Pack density starts at medium+ and ends at medium, softening through smoking. This slight softening doesn't affect either seams nor draw -- a smooth medium tension'd thing from gate-to-wire.

I didn't play mohel and circumcise the foot this time. Match lit, no toasting, like a damn cigarette or something. Burn-line therefore starts a tick mishuga, but corrects well before 2/3 of a slight re-touch 'bout an inch in. Pace seams a tick hot and quick, tho not egregiously. Slows. At the mid-point, there is a slight+ flirtation with tunnelling and a bit of canoe, easily is off-set by a retouch/resting. Operates on a slight curve thereafter, no re-touching mandated. Goodly amounts of smoke out-put from each end.

I'm surprised by a heightened cold draw Hershey Kiss not seen on other Sabbaths. Red then black pepper up-front with a sweet spice shot-gun. Riding alongside this is a Cordial Cherry note. Notes seem a tick more mellow. Syrupy Cuban coffee. Barnyard compost under-belly with a molasses sweetness. Some sarsaparilla liltings. Notes which flit about are a sweetened almond paste, some hickory, and an eventual dried cedar. Vanilla. Some darker citrus, particularly on the -long legged sweetbitter finish. Tobacco presents with a quite lovely aromatic pipe tendency, which is much of the plentiful room-note. Avoids previous Sabbath flirtation of smoky infiltrations. Some beef jerky lip-smackin' umami is underneath a much more subtle smoky attachment. Retro-hale is a lot softer and adds more to creamy sweetness than spicy zetz... a loaf of black bread is there.
Lots of copying & pasting of previous notes show an soitenly, admirable consistency in the blend. Giving me an easy morning's work. Below are my 12/16 flavor notes:
"Red then black pepper up-front with a sweet spice shot-gun with cinnamon lead. Middlings are a forward JSK-familiar candied cherry and toasted cream atop syrupy espresso. Barnyard compost under-belly with a molasses sweetness. Some sarsaparilla liltings. Notes which flit about are a sweetened almond paste, some hickory and mesquite woods, and an eventual cedar. Vanilla. Tropical floral bits. Some darker citrus, particularly on the -long legged sweetbitter finish. Tobacco presents with a quite lovely aromatic pipe tendency, which is much of the plentiful room-note. After the mid-point, flavors pull back to allow a smoky note the wheel and the steer. This becomes a slightly sharp charring in the third act. Some beef jerky lip-smackin' umami is underneath the smokiness."

A bissell softer, more round. Voluptuous? Zaftik. Cream is more-so and toasts less-so. A slight sweet cinnamon tingle sets on the tongue and cheeks. Robust and long finish (sweetbitter with a high-lighted espresso and higher cordial cherry) ends quite cleanly in a refreshing citrus manner. Oily in mouth and (kindly) throat in the 3/3. All told: less sinewy, more meaty.

My eyes swim in my head a full tick less. Chest and challah-basket are a Bourbon sipping. Some schvitzing under the 'stache.
