CUT: Mixture
PIPE: Old German Clay no. 3 (black)
INTENSITY: Medium-Medium/full

NOTES:
Chocolate | Bourbon mash bill | Chipotle

Chocolate fudge with an accompanying hint of brownie corner piece. Bourbon mash bill, lotsa corn. Chipotles are jalapenos, dried, lending a smoky-sweet flavor. Figs, roasted oranges, sweet grass, black pepper. Burns quite well fresh out of the zippie, leaving some clumpy ash and a bit more than moderate dottle at the acrid (near) heel. Big smoke out-put. Quite pleasant room-note. Visions of LL Bean khaki chinos.
