Fusty, musty, dusty. Three of the lesser-known but quite welcome (around here) dwarves. Honey and chocolate book glue maltinesses swathed in terra cotta-laced loam-earthiness. Gruffly-refined.
Golden raisins are confined to the 2/3.
This is a smoke tailor-made for a study. Pairs with the smell of old books and dusty rays of sunlight. Well-worn leather chairs and wood-paneled walls. It was quite difficult being objective with my grading of this one. But if this speaks to you, here's your cigar.
If it didn't, it isn't. More for me.
