With thanks to @OtismyMan
Warped Flor Del Valle

This thing was darn near perfect. The weight was perfect, the draw was perfect, the ash was perfect, the char line was nearly perfect. I would have liked a little more earth or something to add some darkness or bottom end to the flavor profile. Other wise, a damn fine smoke that is worth trying even if honey, floral, and nutmeg aren't usually up your alley.



Hoyo De Monterey Dark Sumatra Espresso

Don't waste the time or money. Mine came out of a cello so yellow it matched the band. It still wasn't worth the time. It was way too easy to get a sour taste or that "almost dead" ashy taste if you didn't time it just right. Even when timed perfectly it tasted like cheap coffee that sat too long, molasses without the sweetness, hay, and a touch of cedar. None of those flavors came through in any way that was attention grabbing, much less pleasing. A very disappointing showing compared to the original Hoyo De Monterey in maduro guise.
