NOTES:
Dark chocolate | Scorched oak | Italian roast coffee beans

A tick tarry and several ticks of thin smoky forward march. Linear and lacking in complexity and nuance. 'Voosh.' comes to mind. Chocolate is waxy even waxed. Some black pepper and a scant lingering dried dark fruit. Hint of cumin. Burns a bit quick and gives off a big spiced-woodsy aroma, settling into a wispy room-note. Dry, flaky ash. No surprises. Smokes like reading a mystery book backward.
