WRAPPER: Ecuadorian CT Shade
BINDER: Nicaraguan
FILLER: Nicaraguan
FORMAT: Corona
ORIGIN: Nicaragua
INTENSITY: Mild/Mild-medium
NOTES:
Cashew butter | White pepper | White bread
Sweet-spicy mellow. Lots of cashew butter sweetened via table sugar. A back-end of fresh baked white sandwich bread. Between the two is white pepper, finely-ground, w/ some exotic spice lilting. Creamy on that thar mid-palate. Finishes sweetly suede w/ a slight dandelion tea come-on of surprising length. From the second-half on home, an immediate up-front shredded coconut leads the draw.
Fragile top-leaf. Veiny. Loosey-goosey pre-light seams hold well under heat. Burn-line is wobbly-even, no redirect is needed. Char itself has a wide-ish mascara line. Ash fails at making an inch but stacks fairly well. Draws smoothly with an acceptable resistance. I will say a too-stiff draw is common issue w/ these. Smoke out-put wiggles 'round moderate, offering a muted-not-muffled yeasty mildly-spiced room-note.
