FORMAT: Robusto (550)
ORIGIN: Honduras
INTENSITY: Mild-medium-Medium
SPICE: 2/5

NOTES:
Sweet cream | Dessert spices | Chamomile tea

Pillowy-billowy soft, tho lacking in delineation on account of it. Lively oak in the first half, picks up a wet cardboard half-vibe in the second. Quite pleasant throughout, simply and in a straightforward manner. Cereal grain and golden hay over dirt base. White pepper. Pale spices.

Draws a tick toward open but evenly-so. Burns at an even but quick-pace, lacks ash growth. Build-wise, nice tight seams, cap assemblage, with neither hard nor soft spots. Hits somewhat as a smokeable aperitif. Mainly lives up to its name, a serene not overbearing or difficult thing.
