NOTES:
Peanut brittle burnt in an oven, then placed in a smoker. Crumbs from a corner piece of brownie. A separate dark chocolate syrup flows and grows. A bit gruff, somewhat aggressive. Stiff leather over compost grounding. Some pipe tobaccos ghost pipes. This cigar ghosts the palate. Lo-o-o-ong finish.
At the far end of that finish, a dose of brown sugar drops and bleeds into the next draw and the next draw and the next draw, etc. Somewhere in the core is a ruby red grapefruit, baked--and on top of that is where the sugar goes. Excellent burn and draw. Isn't aggressive then is again. Some guys like that.
There's some dusty spice hither-thither.
This one might age exceptionally well.
