I first reviewed this blend/vitola HERE. That makes this 'un a Redux, gentlepersons.
- Even-keeled seams hold throughout.
- Piccante, smoked, rich dark chocolate bits.
- Under-belly has a purple fruit lilt.
- S'mores over a mesquite/hickory campfire.
- Sweetly toasted heavy natural tobacco room-note
- Espresso note thicks and thicks. Then thicks.
- Draw remains a very nice medium+ tension.
- Finish is long, bittersweet, ends particularly clean.
- Oily heather-grey ash builds well and solid.
- Fruitcake. Tis the season.
- Body is a -full and balances well the boozy strength.
- Big smoky-smoke, even at rest.
- Red pepper and cumin do neat stuffs w/ brown sugar.
- Transitions are nice and generally fruity/nutty.
- Depth of notes/nuances is quite interesting.
- Wine cask, me likey that note.
- Surprisingly smooth textured for its profile.
- Nice tingly mouf-feel.
- A final creme brulee shift.
- A final final fruit syrup, darkly.
- Smooth and cool to ye olde nubbeth.
THE KVETCH
- A bit of a fast-paced rate a' burn.
- Line ribbons and curves a half-to-whole tick.
- Density becomes spongy post 1/2.
- Seems to wanna burn hot.
- Slight erring toward a conical burn.
- Palate gets a tick of road-rash, till creme brulee cometh.
- Flavors are a tick less than need be in body/strength ratio.
- Mouth-feel gets somewhat spitty in 3/3.
- Strength unsettles my lightweight challah-basket.
