Cocoa butter | Milk chocolate | Cedar
Oily, nicely. From wrapper eyeballing, to finish on palate. Sweetly mellow with a 'keep ya honest' white pepper kick. Cocoa butter & milk chocolate twist & play yet stay bordered within delineation. This provided by a peppery backbone, as well as buttery sweet-spiced cedar. Cedar leads that structuring after a tick, stays in charge. Middlings are pale toasted bits of honey, nougat, & butterscotch notes.
Terra cotta comes up from underbelly; suede there with lilts of chicken coop. Savory. Down below is golden earth with a single sweet bale of fresh hay. Finishes long and mellow, an extension of primaries. Never cloying, but clean. Complex in a casual sort of manner. Nuanced in the same vein. Quite well-balanced. A stoically classical cigar with a posh creamy body. A bit of fusty peanut butter.
Draw could stand being a tick looser. Burn-line exhibits a slight hiccup jaggedness once or twice. Those previous two sentences are nit-pickery at its finest. IT'S FINEST, I SAY. Smoke out-put is a tick shy of moderate culminating in a less than plush room-note of malty suede honey. Ash stacks well. Firm packing stays thatta-way all thru. A pleasant stick, impressive in its lack of pursuit thereof. It's chill af, man.
