NOTES:
Lemony earthiness | white pepper | a floral aspect. Bright & dusty. There's a stogie cardboard whisper to the undertones. A bit of table sugar. Cardamom mixes w/ dandelion/chamomile; an herbal tea vibe. Sandy underbelly... some terra cotta then white dirt, a.k.a. kaolin. Mineraly. Salty.
Lacking in complexities &/or nuance. A straight-forward thing out on a mainly pleasant line. Dries the palate some in an astringent manner. An abbreviated sweet floral earth finish. A bit of chicken coop residue on short legs. Tastes like a poker game -- particularly its cards.
Very nice smoke out-put, which culminates in a muted room-note of further dusty top-notes. Dead-even burn-line. Tight ash. Excellent draw. Tight seams, stoically affixed cap & shoulder, zero hard/soft spots. Construction & combustion operate flawlessly, really. Would be actually quite nice over cards, dominoes, chit-chat, etc. It comes up short in an event all on its lonesome -- but would make for a nice accessory to a good time.
FINAL GRADE: B-
