NOTES:
White pepper early with red coming on late and finishing later-still. Peanut butter on a sesame seed bun with a cup of mead... a traditional Viking snack? Milk chocolate & cedar round up a busy but well-rehearsed set of overtones. Undertones: a cup of joe, heavy on cream & sugar and a more delicate bit via cup of chamomile w/ lemon wedge. White ginger. Licorice. Underbelly is a rich clay earthiness and bit a' chicken coop vibing.

Plenty more smoke out-put than the vitola might have ya assume. pumpkin spice room-note under sweet natty 'baccy. Burns on a thick mascara char-line, evenly-so. Rather fast-paced. No hard/soft spots on the shaft and seams hold tight. Draws smoothly and hits the palate like a fluffed pillow.
