NOTES:

A Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar thrown into a hardwood bonfire. An ember gets free and the guy gets up with his acoustic guitar in tow to step it out; melting the rubber sole of his shoe just a bit. Black pepper. Maybe instead, someone splashes out the ember with the reminder of their Dr. Pepper. Tar.

An unrelenting display of that. Unchangeable. Not so much aggressive as assertive and insistent. Not much depth, as all note are pretty high, evenly-so. Draws well. Burns on a slight jagged-wobble. Built fine. profile-wise, gets a tick sharp after the half and threatens to be more feel than flavor.
