Appearance
Wrapper has a few prominent veins but mostly fine. Seams are fairly tight.
Aroma
Hay and grassy notes on the wrapper. Molasses notes at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Licorice and molasses
1st
Draw is a bit snug to start out. Cedar and leathery notes to start it off. The burn has been almost perfect from the start. A light spice has been noticeable but not prominent. Near the end of the 1st the spice becomes more prominent. It reminds me of Pimenton (spanish paprika).
2nd
The cedar, leather and Pimenton spice notes continue into the 2nd. Part way in the cocoa I was waiting for showed up. Shortly after that some nutty notes blend with the cocoa. The ash is light gray and semi tight. The finish is long with spice, cedar and sweet notes.
Final/3rd
The flavors continue thru the final/3rd with the cedar being more pronounced. I found it to be mild in the complexity scale but a very relaxing smoke. The strength and body we're medium to med/full but on the very low end of full. So most smokers will enjoy this stick. Thanks again to @thedrakeisgood Spence Drake for the samples for review.
