picked this up at JR yesterday and wow! what a great stick.
tons of nuanced flavors balanced on a rich earthy core and thick voluminous smoke that smelled of wood. first puff was a strong caramel flavor followed be spice, and then the earth and spice were on the forefront for the first third with a floral note on the retrohale and a slight molasses/cocoa sweetness on the finish.
Second third the spice died down and the sweetness ramped up with alternating tastes of creamy caramel, butterscotch, and cocoa. the retro for this bit of the stick brought on interesting apricot and lemon notes while the finish left a pleasant saltiness on my palate.
flavors died down for maybe half an inch just before the last third and then the spice was back in full force while the salty creaminess remained. what a medley of interesting tastes! not only that but the stick stayed cool all the way down to the nub so I got a nice long smoke. I highly recommend this to anyone who hasnt tried it, although I'm sure most of you have lol.
