Jas Sum Kral (JSK) Toothpick 2.0 Maduro
WRAPPER: Mexican San Andres Maduro
BINDER: ???
FILLER: ???
FORMAT: Robusto 550
ORIGIN:Tabacalera de Aragon S.A, Nicaragua
STRENGTH: Medium
NOTES: Sweetly spiced wood. Darkly-so >>> Molasses, black pepper, chili powder, charred oak. Pumpernickel is a high up undertone forefront. Then savory earth. Quite nice. ### Needless chevrons & hashtags aside,
"All said, the [Habano] Toothpick quite serviceably fills the company's bottom shelf, a la the Ventura Slaughterhouse, Illusione Cigars Cuchillos Cubanos ((( link ))), & Tatuaje Series P." is what I said of the Habano Toothpick iteration ((( link )))
This Maduro has a decent spot on any JSK shelf, a shelf that's no slouch of height -- for a simply enjoyable smokeable stick. Finish is sweet, clean, uncluttered. Flavors are simple but not boring. Nice.
The biggest thing here is performance. Absolutely sans complaint. Perfect draw, slow pace, hella ash. Cruise control, bay-bee!
