1st
Initial draws bring notes of cedar with a nice creamy note at the back of the palate. The draw is effortless. Burn line has a slight wave. Strength is in the medium range. The ash is salt&pepper gray and stacked. The candy notes have joined the profile. The dried fruit from the Prelight Draw is joining the profile as well with a bit of citrus tang. The ash held firm til removal.
2nd
The profile is well balanced. The flavor profile remains consistent. The finish is long with notes of cedar, cream, dried fruit, candy and cinnamon spice. Smoke production is at the medium range.
Final/3rd
The flavors remain consistent into the final/3rd and right to the nub.
