Flavor

Flavor is rated 4/5. Easily lit, it provides round smoke with roasted coffee and honey flavors initially. As it burns, the power increases, and coffee notes mix with strong woody flavors. The aftertaste is long and pleasant. It's full - bodied, and in the last third, it almost becomes overwhelming.
