NOTES:
Ever drink a Creamsicle float? It's orange soda poured over vanilla ice cream. Now sprinkle some dirt on top & sip it in an over-stufft leather chair in a wood-paneled room. That's fairly the experience here & it's a nice one. There are undertones of malty cocoa butter, butterscotch, white pepper. Suede underbelly.

Not a huge amount of structure, but does avoid being flat. Not complex, transitional, nor particularly nuanced(but some). A kindly sweet taste to stick in your smoke-hole. Lingers well there on a sweet & zesty finish. Well-rounded & nice-balanced. Body is well ahead of flavor, lushly-so. Posh, really... w/ a nice tingle on the tongue.

Built quite well. Draws smooth & burns even. Grows dense ash. Seams & cap assemblage hold firm. Zero hard/soft spots or softening of pack via progression. A set it and forget it offering which plays happily on the palate. A pleasant acquaintance beats a friend in need any ol' day.

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