NOTES:

Bamboo | White chocolate | Pistachio. Quite the driving leafy herbaceousness w/ wobbly floral attachment. Quite rare primaries -- bamboo (somewhat live) & definite pistachio (somewhat green). An exotic lemony pale spice array underlines a white peppercorn kicker which is somewhat drying at times. Structurally, some pine flows in to lend delineation come the 2/3. Suede makes a nice addition to clay earthen underbelly.

Lacks some balance till about the 1/2, when cream comes fully in. Lacks too in some undertones, as the middlings are lendings from above & below. Back-door complex & nicely nuanced in a non-traditional manner as described in mids. The aroma is a sweet tropical selling-point; that's thru the nose, too. 

Smooth even draw. Flawless burn-line slowly & I mean s l o w l y builds oily-dense ash. Excellent construction/combustion all-'round. Big & I mean B I G smoky-smoke out-put nicely culminates that excellent aroma into room-note. Summation: a lil different, quite calm, a slight kick to stave boredom. Not perfect, but a happy smoke.

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