NOTES:
Campfire | Jasmine | Earth

Bold, bright, brightly-casting shadows in its own forest floor-earthen campfire depths. Jasmine, tea leaves steer top-notes. A Chinese restaurant cuppa homage? The food's slathered in Korean BBQ sauce, tangy-spiced-sweetness. Focus? The dry-mouthed taste-feels, not delineating particular note(s). A binder secures even-keeled combustion; this cigar is rolled sans binder (ipso facto).

Other Toscano reviews:

"Meanwhile, I caved into a weird craving and got some Toscano 1492s. I'm knee-deep in dry-mouthed regret." I write to a friend named ShitFuck while reviewing.
