Smoking Phases

First Third: Immediate cashew creaminess with baking spice whispers. The short format means it skips the warm-up - straight to golden toasted notes. Draws effortlessly like sipping vanilla latte.

Mid Session: Develops wheat biscuit texture with cinnamon sprinkles. Watch for sudden transitions - our sample showed pepper zing around the band point, an unexpected twist in this mild blend.

Final Stretch: Cedar planks emerge through caramelized sugar sweetness. Despite its girth, burns clean to nub without tar build-up. 35-minute smoke time keeps nicotine at bay.

Construction Notes

The tube keeps the delicate wrapper pristine - our sample had minimal tooth but visible seams. Combustion stayed razor-straight despite the massive 60 ring gauge. Rolled at Oliva's Estelí factory, it showcases their mastery in packing flavor into short formats.
