NOTES:
Honey | Clotted cream | Citrus
Big flavor, mild-mannered. Sweet & smooth, not cloyingly-so & also a bit peppery thru the nose. Honey is a carob seed varietal, steering the profile well. Clotted cream fleshes out the body richly. Citrus abates the cloy and is quite complex; w/ a white peppercorn & bell pepper accompaniment.
An ever-building nuttiness is up-front in the middlings. Cashew, pine nut. Black pepper flake is subtly there as well, a decent pepper-show for a milder smoke. Well-rounded edges, say. Chocolate milk. Granny Smith apple, Sweet creamy hay turns to a cedar of the same delivery at the 1/2. A bit monkey bread doughy. Malty af (honey) in the final act. Long story short, an offering well-embracing of its heritage.
Underbelly is beach sand w/ copses of vegetation here/there. Finish is a glazed pie crust. I do not know how to pleasantly say "creampie." Ah, yes... "cream pie." Much better. Deceptively long legs. A dash of salt at the end of that. A surprise tick of cayenne in the throat. Cardamom, I could go on. Won't. Complex top-to-bottom & in layers. Therefore nuanced, deeply.
Burns on an even line. Draws smooth as silk (this too, an apt notation of body). Ash grows well 'nuff to sate a long ash fetish. Big smoke out-put yields a patisserie aroma w/ hits of blonde java. I don't know how to say this pleasantly but if you know BBC doesn't always mean British media, this cigar is a BWC. I probably should edit that out. Won't. A naughty blend? Cheeky, to say the yeast (Monkey Bread reference).
