NOTES:
Macchiato (unsweetened) | Cedar (sleeved) | Chili powder+
Syrupy strong put-hair-on-yer-chest brew with just a 'mark' of milk. The cedar sleeve adornment adds to a sense of balancing bright-lively and structuring cedar. Cumin, savory forward chili powder, with a smoked paprika attachment which does things on its own+. A strong, capable, independent smoked paprika.
A grown-up cigar with nothing to prove. Ash builds big, silver-white. Top-leaf is veiny, but to be expected. Draw is lovely, as are pacing and burn. Classics gonna classic, I 'spose. Hard to go too wrong with this one. Would pair well with hooch, and superbly with a macchiato. And a game of dominoes.
