Product Introduction

Appearance
The wrapper is veinless, extremely smooth and silky, with no soft spots. Its color is milk chocolate, and it has a rating of 5/5 for appearance.
Construction
The construction has a rating of 4/5. It lights up easily and burns slowly and regularly. However, the draw is quite tight, and one might expect more smoke.
Flavor
- One third: It starts with very light dry wood and cedar flavors.
- Two thirds: Sweet notes appear and become stronger.
- Three thirds: There is nice bitterness and a tobacco flavor.
It has a flavor rating of 4.5/5. It's recommended to smoke it slowly before a meal with a simple drink like cold water, as it may not pair well with whiskey.
Value
It has a value rating of 4/5. It's a good investment, and would get 5 stars if the draw was perfect.
