10 FACTS about the
CATTLE BARON BULL

1. Minimum veins and invisible seams highlight this Cattle Baron's construction to the eye-balling. Performance-wise you'll get a nice even draw which operates a tick on the slight side a' medium tension'd. No hard/soft spots pre-light, and only a bissell softening as smoked. Seams stay put, as doth draw, straight through to the cool smoke delivering nub.

2. Robustly medium flavors "Well delivered traditional notes of sweetly piquant cocoa and cedar around a clean tobacco core." (Kaplowitz, 2017, www.Kaplowitz.xyz) Some nice Dominican fusty bits in a grapefruit note. A bit of leather-bound book. Coffee and cream.

3. Very consistent, but not boringly so or sans transitions. Them transitions come by way of an oiling maturation of notes and entrenching of nuances, more-so than introductions of new flavors.

4. Combustion-wise, this Cattle Baron offering burns straight and at a goodly pace. Top-leaf/binder/fillers char in lock-step fashion. Ash builds into a tightly dense sheath which'd probably last all the way on through if you liked it to. I had to force mine off at mid-point as to not over-insulate.

5. This CB is medium bodied and smoothly creamy with just the slightest bit a' tongue tingle by way of cayenne which finishes the moderate and then-some lenght'd finish in a zetz. There's some saltiness on the lips and cheeks.

6. Spices are a heavy on the citrus mulling spice and some separately offered clove. Peppers make with the white, black, read, and hint a' cayenne varietals. Some ebbing and flowing (more oft in the final stanza) of sweet produce department stuffs.

7. I covered the nuances already, so lettuce look to the complexities of this Cattle Baron offering. With not a lot of them via transitions, I'd say a tick over a moderate amount. One of them attainable smokes which too, won't bore an experienced hand.

8. Strength is a medium with a white wine spritzer buzz, buckaroo.

9. Cattle Baron is owned by Montana rancher and First Vice President of the Montana Stockgrower’s Association, Bryan Mussard. Mr. Mussard also owns Gorgeous Vodka. If ya want more buzz and less gluten -- check 'em out, gentlepersons.

10. Oh, so balanced.

Murray Feinstein finally retires from the garment district. Immediately, he decides to embark upon his life-long dream of ranching. He sells his condo and heads out West. He buys a ranch and a new wardrobe of jeans and pearl-buttoned western yolked plaid shirts. Boots with heels and a ten gallon hat that together make him at the very least five foot six inches tall. He attends livestock auctions and drops much of his allotted funds and then-some.

Everyday, he sees his neighbor, a grizzled old cow-poke, working at their fence. Murray cannot seem to gather up the chutzpah to introduce hisself. Then on one particularly ballsy day -- months after sharing a property line, he finds said chutzpah. He puts on his finest jeans and pearl-buttoned western yolked plaid shirt. Boots with heels and a ten gallon hat that together make him at the very least five foot six inches tall. Rides over to the fence on his finest horse toward the grizzled old cow-poke. Introduces hisself with much gathered aplomb.

It's met with a gruff harrumph and unimpressed side-glance. Astounded as to the cow-poke's lack of impressed reaction, Murray saunters closer still and says, through a Fifth Avenue accent, "Ya like my stallion, pardnah?"

The cow-poke, without looking up says, "That's a mare."
Insulted and blashemised up-on, Murray says "He's a STALLION."
"Mare." Comes the flat reply.

With much bravado and an argument won and well in hand, Mr. Feinstein nearly shouts in anticipated victory -- "Then why every time I ride it into town, everyone points and says 'Would ya look at the prick on that horse.'"
