Taste Profile
- First third: Starts with a bit of spice on the tongue. Retro - exhalation has spice around mid - sinus. After about 1/4" - 1/2", it produces light grey ash with dark rings. The spice subsides early, and mild woody flavors take over. A hard - to - define taste develops at the back of the throat.
- Middle part: The ash drops off at about 1 - 3/4". Leathery notes start to appear and linger after each puff.
- Final third: Consistent wood and leather flavors, with a bit more spice emerging in the last 2".
The burn is very even throughout the smoke. The pre - light aroma is mild to moderate, sweet, and pleasant. The pre - light taste is sweet and woody, and the draw has decent resistance and is smooth.
