Got some yard gar from CI. ROTT these are drier than I expected, a little nuttiness in this first inch so far, earthy overall, decent smoke production, little spicy. Will check back with more after I get into this a little ways.
Nuttiness has turned to leather, spice has turned to bitter, this thing is way too dry and burning way too fast and hot. End on this one for me. I'll check back in a month on the rest.
Ash stack, solid so far, palette feels off today but so far I'm getting prelight espresso, 1/3 oak nuttiness, light cream, 2/3 earthy spice, continued light cream
