Smoke Profile

First Third

Black pepper bursts through with charred oak notes, mellowed by roasted almonds. Medium smoke output with tight ash formation.

Middle Third

Espresso bitterness balances caramelized sugar sweetness. Baking spices emerge - think nutmeg and cinnamon without overwhelming heat.

Final Third

Mineral earthiness develops alongside dark cocoa. Strength builds noticeably; nicotine-sensitive smokers might want to stop at ¾ length.
