Cappucino | Baking spice | Fruit & nut mix
"A cappuccino is distinctly layered, while in a latte the espresso and steamed milk are blended together." - The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. A well-structured smoke given its creaminess, this via a subtle buttery cedar note. Cinnamon, nutmeg, a clove hint, and a dash of red pepper flake keep you tingly-honest. Lightly candied almonds lead a nutty array alongside raisin & fig-led fruitiness.
Smoothly quite complex. Excellent depth of nuances. Even-keeled darkening transitions toward roastiness. Savory as it evolves a dense then denser in earthen forest floor underbelly. Further umami-ridden as a soy sauce enters at the second-half. Crisp-clean leatheriness and new roasted orange about then, too. Excellent heft, silky texture. Lengthy sweet meat finish. A lovely aroma on par w/ & akin to said finish.
As to combustion/construction & performance, a sole gripe of any real meaning is it draws a tick snug. Loosens via double-puffs but then allows smoke through in varying degrees. Ash cones a bit most likely on account of hard pullings; grows a dense af inch easily. Seams hold fast nigh invisibly, although some wounding of cap occurs slightly; again--see draw. Nevertheless a razor-thin line and predominantly an even one. No hard/soft spots and really a joy to taste.
