NOTES:
Cherry lemonade. Cocoa butter.  Bright and nuanced notes braced by subdued undertones of cedar and butterscotch. Minimal pepper but nicely spiced via cinnamon, paprika, nutmeg. Underbelly is a clay earthiness with sweet creamy hay traces.

Draw is a bit hesitant and requires double-puffs which exaggerate a slight canoe threat. A pair of quick retouches repair that in first & third-thirds. Top-leaf crackles-some in the 3/3 but just a hair. Ash grows well and oily sans flaking.

FINAL GRADE: B+
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
