Upon the initial inspection I can’t find a single fault with this stick. Feels just right in the hand weight wise. Warraper is still showing the oily character with a very smooth sheen. Foot smells of cedar and hay. Using punching the cap the pre light draw is fantastic - hinting at the great construction. Flavor wise I am detecting smooth nuances of cedar and some inherent sweetness
Time to light this thing. Right away I am getting notes of coffee, nutmeg and perhaps molasses like sweetness. Retro is of white pepper and dark chocolate - excellent combination. Not overpowering. First third is pretty much smooth balanced bliss
I like to flip off the ash at about this length but it looks like you can smoke through about half a stick without it falling down on its own. As you can see the burn is perfect once again
Second third is more creamy with almond like flavors and oatmeal cookie Sweetness on the finish. Pepper is gone on the retro and replaced with stewed fruit.
Into the last third now. Profile is a repeat of the 1st third which I loved. This will be a nubber for sure
