Stolen Throne
Call to Arms
WRAPPER: Sumatra
BINDER: Nicaraguan
FILLER: Nicaraguan
FORMAT: Robusto
ORIGIN: Flor de San Luis, Nicaragua
INTENSITY: Medium/Med.-Full
NOTES:
Honey | Spices | Cream
Sweet & spicy like your aunt when she's drunk. Primary notes of spice array include: paprika, cinnamon, clove. with an out-on-ahead sweet gambit of malty orange blossom honey, cocoa butter, burgeoning then ballooning caramel. Braced with buttery cedar beams dipped in butterscotch pudding. Excellent structure & balance and far more complex than all I've simply stated. Creamy-dreamy.
Undertones reach up to influence the up-top with notes of fungal bits. (Your aunt sure is a fun-gal.) Cardamom gives off an apple pie vibe and the crust is there too, sugary, flaky. Suede. Chicken coop. Peanut butter. Berries. Chamomile & wildflowers. A certain cleansing citrus pith. Long sweet-spicy finish & ever-evolving. Could easily be a cacophony but instead stays jazzy. Excellent depth of nuance, brightly, densely.
Underbelly is clay terracotta earth with more honey -- a blueberry varietal of the stuff. Graham cracker crumbs. Performance-wise, I see zilch complaints. Even burn at even pacing. Fantastic ash growth. No hard/soft spots. Velvety draw. Voluminous smoke out-put yields a pastry in the oven vibe with curry simmering on the stovetop. A sophomore addition to a stable already housing a champion Quarter Horse (Crook of the Crown). This here is goddamned Thoroughbred w/ the legs to cover Belmont.
FINAL GRADE: A
