WEBSITE: leaninghousefinecigars.com

NOTES:
Baking spices | Fudge brownie | Meaty

Substantial. Attainably robust. Full, wide, lacking in delineation, focus. A weighted blanket by a fireplace, say. Smokes warmly, with charred notes of cumin & nutmeg. Hint of cinnamon. Burnt corner brownie pieces. Meaty, in a general sense, perhaps an au jus instant powder.

Wide and flat but mainly nice if not titillating. Smooth as in ball-bearing, not talc nor moist-creamy. Some looks at spent espresso grounds, barnyard, an attempting anise. No real complexities but some horizontal nuances via bleeding borders. Thru the nose is a black peppercorn that hits the palate as vanilla extract.

Draw is quite snug. There's a hard-spot in the roll, up toward the cap. Seams and shoulder hold fine. Burns evenly-nuff at a slightly quicker than moderate pace. Ash is thick and dry. Smoke out-put is decent actively & muted passively. Aroma is a meaty chocolate thing that lingers deeply well w/ Cavendish leanings.
