NOTES:
Nougat | Chocolate whipped cream | Pantry spices
Cedar is somehow a part of all primaries & offers a nice back-bone to each. Although that tact seems to remove much complexity from the equation, as it doesn't allow mingling of notes. Instead, between them is a sandy-gritty spiciness. Dusty & non-descript. Under that is more spice w/ a scant red pepper addition, some cream (but not quite enough), and a tick of a citrusy try.
Underbelly is the aforementioned grit & simple sweetness enveloped from around-top. A balanced profile but also lacking in some regard (savoriness in particular) -- so, much like juggling only two balls. An easy blend that loses its charm when it tries to kick a bit. Juggling two knives, say. No harder, just sharper & why??? Finish is a fleeting sweet dusty thing, drying to the palate.
The selling point of this smoke is its combustion/construction. Glistening-white long ash, smooth draw, dead-even burn. Smoke out-put is moderate & builds a neat aroma of creamy sweetness with spicy BAM notch -- funny how what swings & misses on the palate, slam dunks on the nose. Funny too, mixing metaphors. lol
