NOTES:
Rigid notes, dark & dipped in toasted cream. Chocolatey-earthen top-notes w/ cumin, smoked paprika, & smooth black pepper nuances. In quite a particular order, the undertones are coffee beans (which brace well), black licorice, & hearty roasted grains. Underbelly is an enveloping of profile via earthiness & a creme brulee thing.

Straight-forward in a purposeful & focused stride, tho not in a linear fashion. Nuanced especially in the aforementioned up-top, tho not complex. Aroma sees a stiff leather addition to those overtones off a voluminous smoky-smoke out-put.

Cap assemblage wears a bit, but not in a manner hindering performance. Draws smoothly, a tick toward the stiff-side. Burns evenly & at a nicely slower than moderate pace. Ash builds oily to a dense inch+. Seams hold against char & the rather firm roll shows no sign of softening nor does it show any soft-spots.

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