Appearance
A medium brown colored wrapper with a few prominent veins. The seams are tightly wrapped. The filler bunch appears to be well packed with no soft spots.
Aroma
Cedar and Sweet tobacco with a hint of spice on the wrapper. Cedar, fruit and a hint of spice at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Sour tobacco and spice.
1st
The sour note from the prelight comes through in the initial draws(maybe Fred used skittles for fertilizer?). There is a little dry toast flavor as well. The spice is a cinnamon/white pepper mix. The draw is perfect. The burn has a slight wave. The ash is light gray & stacked with a bit of flake. There is a little black pepper registering in the back of the palate. About midway in the 1st/3rd the sour note fades and a nice leather texture appears. There is also a graham crackerlike note. The burn has self corrected. I removed the ash at 1 3/4" as it was looking suspect. Very well balanced profile so far.
2nd
Strength so far is at medium+. Smoke production is in the medium range. The finish is long with notes of cedar, warm cinnamon, graham cracker, black/white pepper and leather. Burn is back to wavy but begins to self correct just past midway in 2nd/3rd. Crushed red pepper joins the profile. Strength is at the low end of med/full. The flavor profile is still well balanced.
Final/3rd
Burn has fully self corrected again. The ash is mostly tight with no flakes. The flavor profile remains consistent through the final/3rd.
Overall the Nomad Martial Law provides a very enjoyable smoking experience. A well balanced and mildly complex flavor profile.
Another fine blend by Fred Rewey @GodFadr
I recommend you give it a try.
