NOTES:
Granny Smith apple | Pinewood | Cashew butter

Tart in a quite pleasing way. Invigorating, clean. Crisp. A neat bit creamy balance via cashew butter, softly salted. Each delineated from the other by a lively pinewood w/ an inherent & whimsical sweetness. A spring day of a smoke. Undertones of sunflowers & sweet sunlit grass, pine nuts, a dry Reisling. Delicately delivered, purposefully structured on an underbelly of golden dirt after a sunshower. 

Well-rounded, balanced rather admirably albeit lacking-some in sticking to the ribs savoriness. Atho the intent here seems easy-breezy more that gluttonous. A light snack while swinging in a hammock. "Peel me a grape." (Mae West.) Keenly complex & nuanced well particularly given its crispness. A big, mild stick almost always flirts w/ boredom... almost. Not here. The aroma is a happy sweet tartness; thru the nose, a lemony white pepper ground smoothly can be felt.

Burns at a moderate & even pacing on a dead-even char-line. Ash grows well, but won't win any contests there, alas. Quite stoically built gate-to-wire. Superb draw. A pretty smoke, beautiful really. Look at it there, in its floral-patterned sundress. Getting up from the hammock here & there to drive the boys crazy as they toil away in the sun. [Cool Hand Luke's Lucille.]
