NOTES:
Peanut butter (creamy) | Sumac | Marshmallow Fluff
I can be an occasional jerk. Perhaps it does take one to know one. This cigar occasionally jerks out of harmony, the fault of the citrusy-side of sumac joining with a separate and sometimesy creamsicle vibe. Outside of that, there are some sly complexities wherein soft woods and white chocolate; sunflowers and golden hay play. And the skies are not cloudy all day*.
The thing is tight-tight-tightly|packed. Draw begins snug, and loosens. However, it remains about the firmest stick I recall. Seams are nice, the cap stays niftily assembled. Ash is a grower and a show-er. Burns slow as you'd imagine given the density deftly described. Burn-line is even 'nuff, particularly compared to crooked government work. Seeds. Sunflower seeds, salted. How odd.
The State Song of Kansas is *Home on The Range, written by one Brewster Higley. The state flower of Kansas is the Wild Sunflower. I can't wrap it up any more succinctly than that.
