Olafacory Hallucinations:
Pre light
Nice light brown tan colored wrapper, nice tripel cap,
barnyard aroma, cold draw flavors of honey, hay, sweet tobacco.
1st few puffs, slight black pepper, toasted flavor, tobacco. Good volume of smoke. Cocoa in the background with earth and pepper up front at this point. long full flavored finish. A strong floral burst and sweet cocoa powder come on in the1st third. Pepper tones way down faint but present. Floral, cocoa and honey finish the 1st third.
2nd third
Toasted tobacco with hay, cocoa still in background. Aroma is amazing, very sweet. Graham cracker like flavor dominates at this point. With almond like notes. Spice is in background more like white pepper. Full flavored long finish still. Medium full strength. Floral flavor and aroma continues. Good stuff. Solid smoke. End of 2nd third has milk chocolate flavor. Spice is all but gone.
Final 3rd
Milk chocolate and almonds continue spice is more like nutmeg. Tasty sucker! Mouth feels slightly chalky but not in a bad way. Tastes of almonds dominates. Ash is solid throughout and is light grey with dark stripes. Some woodiness appears. Almonds and nutmeg continue chocolate still in background. Floral aroma still there. Freshly popped white popcorn with salt at the end with floral aroma.finishes medium strength.
Great small smoke. Would recommend to anyone who likes a solid Nicaraguan smoke, or if you like CC's. Reminds me of a good young Cohiba siglo II. Had instances where it reminded me of the OR HL epernay.
I paid $8 and think it's well worth it.
Smoke time about 45 minutes.
4/5 stars.
