NOTES:
Spiced Rum | Mexican Hot Chocolate | Savory Cedar
Spiced rum. Something of a pineapple upside-down remembrance. Layers and overlaps. Mexican hot chocolate and an Almond Joy. Meaty-savory cedar and oily French press coffee. A late entry into the Kaplowitz Media. CotY 2025 race? Salted caramel.
The pigtail cap cracks at the clip, and remains scarred. Wrapper peels a tick. Nevertheless, all thankfully holds, fades into memories more recessed than even cake. All this, in spite of my greedy pulls. Some wiggling about of draw tension, all within purely acceptable confines. Muted foot smoke, aroma.
Excellent ash on slightly wavy burn. I kinda taste Apple Jacks, but its been years. Golden Grahams? Maybe longer. Complex, nuanced, transitional. All those words have differing definitions, no time to explain. Malty golden earthiness. French toast? Vanilla extract, cinnamon and sugar sprinkling.
