Real time review

[Robb in Austin]

I just thought of this so bear with me if it goes off the rails.

Smoking a Aquitaine Knuckle Dragger. Listening to Anthrax's 'For all kings'. Drinking a local beer; Infamous Brewing IPA (amazing IPA if youre in Texas. Get some.)

Onwards and upwards...



Initial light reveals chocolate and leather. I love this.

I'm about 10 mins behind real time at this point so I'll catch yall up...

At about 1/4" in I get some gharam cracker notes. The chocolate dies off.
I've had to touch it up twice after the inital roasting.

If I puff aggressively I get a hot burn (duh) and lots of pepper/spice.

I'm now about 20 mins into it.
No more touch ups needed. Burn is a little off but not bad.
I'm getting chocolate again, some tobacco, a hint of leather, maybe some cedar, and now spice. And a hint of dog.

What the hell?

Lots of spice, some lemon notes. Do I get holiday baking spices(cinnamon, nutmeg, cedar)?

 

[Robb in Austin]

It's mellowed a bit now. The leather and tobacco is now at the forefront. No more spice. Getting hot to the touch and on the puff. Best ash I've had in a while.

Spoke too soon.

 

[Robb in Austin]

Despite being at the nub, now its setlled down more. Burning hot but getting some heavy cream and tobacco notes.

Waiming for the overall grade...

A solid A.

I havent had a RoMa Craft stick I havent really loved though so take that for what its worth.
