NOTES:
Pantry spices | Roasted oranges | Honey
Dusty spices lead the way, sharpened up a good tick via a quite interesting roasted orange note. Here's what food.com recommends as far as preparing roasted oranges, "Drizzle [slices] with a good vanilla extract, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Finally, drizzle honey generously over each slice." That's pretty much what happens here. Cream bounds up in the 2d-half. Buttery.
The cinnamon starts humming prior to that; after the first few spice melange pulls. Honey is an orange blossom varietal. All citrus & sweet-spicy, this. Problems, or at least lackings, occur in predominantly vacant secondaries. Underbelly gives a nice chicken coop & buttery suede savoriness, however. All told, a very smokeable far from dazzling portfolio addition. No nuance. Scant complexity.
Nice mouth-feel smooth with just a tick kick. Finish trails off rather quickly, features a fleeting cardboard lilt which dries a bit. Funny, since it burns a bit moist, though on an even-line. Slowly. Moist on the draw, mostly. Not bad -- just notably & notated. Moderate+ smoke out-put smells like its finish. Ash grows flaky, well 'nuff tho. Roll holds firmness gate-to-wire. A simple, simply good, enjoyable smoke.
