NOTES:
Cinnamon | Citrus | Almond extract
I get it. This one (in my mind) is Hulkamania Hulk Hogan. The Noche is NWO Hulk Hogan. Well, you know something, Mean Gene... cinnamon powder. A little push of candied citrus under that. Moving parallel to thems is an almond extract, leather. Common 'nuff notes presented uncommonly clearly. Sunny apricot. White pepper.
Hogan chose yellow gear because it visually popped so well. This blend pops. Clear delineations. Orchestrated foci. A well-called match. Smokes like chain wrestling looks. Hogan had under-rated ring skills. Peep his work in Japan. Well-structured, a honey malt slithering around oak framework (the cigar).
Excellent draw. Both HH and this Sol. Burns a tick-quick, then also peters--but on a thin, even line. Ash flakes, holds. Moderate smoke out-put yields a sweet citrusy aroma with some vegetal savoriness. Seams loosen a hair-bit by the burn but hold. Cap loosens a tick-bit. "Whatcha gonna do when the Hulkster runs wild on you?"
"Smoke 'em if ya got 'em, BROTHER."
