NOTES:
Green peppercorn | Lemonhead candy | White chocolate
Vegetal spice kicker with savory oats & suede underneath. Lemonhead candies for real & a bit less than roundly but not edgy. White chocolate, which is not chocolate at all, cushions well & a clotted cream comes on to aide in the 1/3's end. Develops well via progression. Smooths & evolves warmly of notes.
Middlings are dirt & chicken coop which trickle down to pool in the underbelly. A tick of bracing lively pine. There's a minty register toward the back of draw, prior to a lengthy sweet/sour finish which reads w/ Asian cuisine flair. An orange blossom honey floods in at the midway mark.
Complexities begin in a bit of cacophony but ease into a calmer stride. This occurs as depths form nicely -- nicely particularly for a milder profile. Not delicate, but refrained certainly. Cream develops a quite sating body that is ahead of flavor/strength but too, retains balance. A blend you can look around in, or pleasurably breeze thru. Perhaps the latter more-so than former.
Burns exceptionally... dead even line & excellent pacing. Ash grows all day if you let it. Smoke out-put is moderate+ & culminates in a room-note of movie theater popcorn. An interesting smell-taste later on of honey roasted peanuts. Snack-ish. Draws lovely. Density holds admirably as do seams, cap, shoulder. A sunny & pleasant blend, one which can demand more if you'd like.
