Pre - light Inspection

The pre - light showed a medium brown rough wrapper with a sloppy uneven cap. The foot was cracked, and the cold smell was sweet fresh - cut hay. The cold draw was tight with honeysuckle tastes. Pre - light score: 6 pts.

Smoking Experience

• First Third: Lighting was difficult due to the crack. After lighting, there were woody, sweet, caramel hints with wood being dominant. The draw had a nice resistance with a maple wood fire aroma.
• Second and Final Thirds: The burn became wavy but only needed one touch - up. The draw remained solid with a natural woody sweetness. Near the finish, there were unusual charred tastes. Smoking score: 7 pts.

Overall

It's a good smoke for winter outdoor smokers, taking about 35 - 40 minutes. Overall experience score: 6 pts.
