Satiny-smooth & syrupy-rich. Overtones >>> Marzipan. Cocoa butter. Caramelized citrus. Twirling twixt >>> Cardamom and an herbal something. Undertones >>> Rich coffee with half&half & sugar. Underbelly >>> Grains, chicken coop, and dirt. All over cream cream cream, pulling from & adding to all it touches, while still maintaining delineation.
So much. Smoke. Can't see. Key.board. Burns on a razor-line; stacks sheath-covered dimes to the tune of an EZ inch. Draws easy w/ the lightest of tugs - a slight tick more tension than 'open.'
Fantastically complex w/ notes banging around and into one another within its bulging flavorscape. Undertones influence overtones and vice-versa. Yet somehow, it's not a clamor nor cacophony. Maybe not rehearsed -- but a well-practiced bit of improv.
