This 6×50 slightly box pressed stick offers a very dark chocolate, oily and slightly toothy wrapper with minimal veins, tight seams and a mild pepper aroma. First light reveals a loose draw, light airy smoke production and slightly sweet earthy flavors with a long light finish. The first third develops to a pretty plain slightly sweet earth mild-medium in body, but with great smoke output and a good burn. 30 min in at the 1/2 way point flavors remain the same while strength creeps up a bit above the body. By the start of the last third, flavors transitioned to a coffe and cream with a touch of caramel, and a solid medium body with even more smoke. Ending at the 1 hour mark, the last third continued the same great flavors for the remainder of the stick. Video on the site.
