I feel as though a skilled barrister could mimic this tastescape within the confines of a disposable holiday-themed cup which would burn my hand due to my sleeve refusal. Hints of milkiest milk chocolate and gooey caramel. That creaminess is sweetly spiced and enveloping. See the rest of the above italics.

Supremely balanced but harmony is a quarter-tick side-stepped when salinity steps-up to the throat a hair hither as well as thither. The aroma is absolutely lovely. The draw is subtly complex. The burn is true and the ash, solid. Effortless draw sure does beat burning my lip on that dang disposable holiday-themed cup.

The sweetness is more akin to saccharin than sugar, but I prefer Sweet N Low in my coffee. It's the secret of my own "Golden Pipes," (sweet and low voice humor). Also serves to keep my bod bikini-ready.
