Brand History

Taste Profile

• First third: It starts rich and smooth with a slightly sweet spice, a “sungrown twang”. The burn is sharp, and the ash is well - formed but a bit loose, holding about an inch. It has a long, sage - like finish and produces thick, creamy, off - white smoke.
• Second third: The twang lessens, and it develops notes of earth, leather, and an almost floral undertone.
• Last third: There are lots of spice and leather, with spice on the finish.

The VSG Sorcerer is a robust and complex smoke. It's not suitable for beginners due to its length and power, but experienced smokers will find it a real treat.
