NOTES:
Butters | Sugars | Summers
Oily, buttery. Cocoa buttery. A bracing white pepper. Monkey bread. Suede work-boots on a beach? Must be a story there. Cantaloupe, caramel. Coconut--Pina Colada? Rum was the last addition to that storied drink, as it's the last addition here.
Why I can't shake Homer Simpson in a muumuu is entirely on me. "Do you like Pina Colonics, and getting caught in the rain?" Classic TV. Rain is wet, the draw on this one is a bit wet. A crack happens in the top leaf toward the middle when I'm an inch in. Cosmetic only. Needs a relight at the half.
A rich, dense, soft staycay of a smoke with no hiccups as far as the palate is concerned. I miss summer already.
