Smoke Session Breakdown

First Third

Black pepper slaps your palate upfront with roasted almond notes. The charred oak from bourbon barrels comes through like that one friend who always overstays - persistent but welcome. Smoke output? Let's just say you'll need good ventilation.

Mid Section

Cinnamon swirls merge with espresso bitterness. The 60-ring girth starts flexing - thick smoke density but watch that heat buildup. Tip: purge every inch or get ready for tar surprises.

Final Stretch

Dark chocolate takes over with dried fruit sweetness. The nicotine punch creeps up around the last two inches - novice smokers might want to tap out here. Lingering aftertaste sticks like gum under a desk.

Head-to-Head Comparison

  • Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary: 6"x60 - Sharper spice, less sweetness
  • Oliva Serie V Robusto: 5"x54 - Tighter draw, floral hints
  • AJF New World Puro: 6"x52 - Earthier profile, drier finish
  • My Father Le Bijou: 6.1"x52 - Black cherry tang, heavier nicotine

Construction Notes

The oily wrapper feels like a well-oiled baseball mitt. Triple-seam cap holds firm - no unwrapping disasters here. Burn line stays razor-sharp if you keep it to 1 puff/minute. Ash clings like your ex's last text - makes for great Insta stories.

Pro Tips

  • ➤ Pair with peated whisky to amplify the wood notes
  • ➤ Dry-box for 12 hours before smoking
  • ➤ Use a punch cut to control airflow
  • ➤ Skip the morning coffee - this IS your caffeine
