On to the review...
Appearance: Light brown with dark shaggy foot, minimal veins, nice construction.
Foot smell: Nutty mocha'ness
Cold draw: Sweet hay
1/3: Very oily stick to your tongue flavors such as strong tobacco, sweet dark chocolate, sweet cashew, and tea.
2/3: tea flavor continues along with sweet hay, nutty flavors develop. Light roasted coffee finishes up this second third.
Last third: Same flavors from 2nd third with the addition of a char note. Soft and warm nub towards the end.
Final thoughts: Nice stick overall with mainly medium flavor and strength profile. Burn was razor sharp and required no touchups. Draw was spot on. It was somewhat complex but lost any complexity from midway of the 2/3 through the rest. I would definitely smoke this again if given the opportunity as it was a nice change up in profiles I am used to. Smoke time was 1 hour. Thank you to @mel-mbombay for giving me the opportunity to review this fine smoke.
