INTENSITY: Medium
SPICE: 3/5
NOTES:
Dessert spice | Cedar | White pepper
Sweet not sharp pale dessert spices. Obviously solid, deceptively smooth. Malty textbook pages. Animalic depths. Caramel. Praline. White pepper. Sweet bread. Cozy cedar. A clean underneath of salted minerality; floral cotton fabric overneath. Richly-densely nuanced, a warm evolution.
Carefree and intense, a smokeable juxtaposition.
As to the nuts & bolts of the combustion & construction; Excellent draw and burn (see below). Smoke out-put is sans complaint. Ash grows solid, long. Burn-rate is moderate to slow, evenly-so. Build takes a ding (see belower) as pack does tend to soften some on-down.
