Clover honey & boiled peanuts. Hi. Welcome to me. Thanks for coming. Also in the top-note realm here is a bit of nougat and a slightly larger bit of white pepper. Undertones are laid out on a cardboard note & are: milk chocolate, butterscotch, & an attempting only cedar. A bit of a dry palate makes e think astringency and then a white tea.
Underbelly is a growing via progression suede but still mainly dirt trail through an orange grove. Balanced, easy, smooth. The lone bit of unfortunate is that continued cardboard dalliance. Most likely that's the palate drying culprit more than a vibe-hint of tea. Speaking of, this is a nice stick to pair up to an excellent Oolong, say.
Burns even. Draws well. Ash builds admirably. No complaints re: performance. Light smoke out-put yields surprisingly pleasant honeysuckle forward room-note. A vintage take on a classic cigar -- vintage being somewhat less than classic to my mind. Perfectly serviceable but ultimately a bit flat.
