NOTES:
Woodsy | Chocolate | Leather
Dusty & refrained nigh muted. Predominantly & up-front woodsy gambit. Balsa & cedar, a thankfully quick to dissipate cardboard. Musky musty therein. Dusty is onboard too, at play in the whispered spice leathery suede softening juxtaposition. Then cocoa. Chocolate. A Swiss Miss packet, replete w/ tiny marshmallows. Complex w/ mottled depths.
Underneath is a clean fresh herbaceousness mimicking mint. It seems at rest there under the sweeter aspects of profile and alongside a salted caramel. Spices: paprika, ginger... dig? Bit of a cashew butter influence on the body into finish. There at the end is a candied citrus bit. A Lemonhead spit out into play sand. Here in its nethers, the structure bends-some.
Greater delineation would make for a lovelier smoke, but this here is quite pretty. However, the burn-line ain't -- & is fairly wayward. Draws well+. Built well. A moderate smoke out-put culminates in a dusty sweet lightly savory room-note. Fusty. I smell-taste orange blossom honey, malted. I am bogged down at times in cereal grain.
