Piquant all the live-long and up-front, thickened by a dark sweetness, then rising bitterness. Strength is apparent outta the gate. Burn sets off a tick wobbled. Jagged too, in one spot. shaft heats a 1/4-inch off char, so I slow mah roll. Piquancy dials back, allowing umami to set in. Smoothly full-bodied with a tongue tingle present, as well. Bitter notes hop-up again.
Draw is a smoothly even affair, well satiating/saturating. Pack density softens in a single spot, by a single hair, down by the half-way mark -- 'bout 3/4-inch ahead a' burn. Mascara line thickens. Shaft cools. Pepper/spice-piquancy re-arises and is sharp as a matzoh through the nose. Salt sets on lips and clings to cheeks.
Less smooth to the point its throaty, some. Moisture-level in smoke-hole dampens shy of spitty. Sweetness separates and broadens the landscape. More umami flows into the holes. No sourness is detected, so not so overly balanced, this. Though the profile is a flavors/body/strength balance a' robust fullness. Yea verily, the notes are heavy.
Ash builds well, and darkly-so. An oiled stack a' dimes. Seams come a half-tick loose. Toothy top-leaf is a quite veiny maduro-complected thing. A bit of acidity settles up-on palate at the end of long-legg'd finish. Said finish is a piquant driven complex smorgasbord of that, and bitter umami with dark sweet under-belly. Better balance, there. Salt is pushed back by an even more muscular now umami.
Bitter then sour lays twixt piquant-umami primary and rich dark sweet nethers. Suddenly: salt, sweetly.
Fin.
