Positively jammy cold draw. Big fruit front calms into place surrounded by its ampersanded brethren. A clustered profile but while narrow, maintains delineations well. Tastes some like a small old still life painting of a bowl of fruit; framed in hardwood--needs a feather dusting. Apricots.
Then, buckwheat honey, black pepper, Leather & Suede. Any of these &s would make for great names of trendy downtown boutiques which all bewilder me as to how they make their monthly Nut & Rent. Trust fund kids, likely. I digress. A complex smoke with an atypical profile. Vive le difference.
