NOTES:
Leather | Anise | Barnyard
Up-front pop of pepper-spice pungency. Black pepper, high & tight, ground fine. Black licorice, fennel, anise. Countered & tethered to (in time) to a barnyard note w/ burgeoning saddle leather down-below. Tidings of plum, black cherry. Finishes a tick sharply on long bittersweet legs.
Cayenne thru the retro-hale rewards you w/ molasses & root beer thang. Root beer is a part of that anise-fennel gambit. Big, that. A different, interesting look @ pepper-spice, that. Moderately complex, nervously-so. Not great depth, but nigh flighty heights have layers. Balance tilts toward the profile's interest.
Draws exceptionally smooth. Built like an elegant tank. Char burns mainly even w/ dry ash barely making an inch. Aroma shows pungency but not over into an unkind manner. Smells how it tastes -- like serious business. An attache case handcuffed to a suited-up wrist. Speed dealer shades 'cause the sun's out.
