This 7.25×38 stick features a slightly lumpy medium tan wrapper with minimal veins, tight seams a pigtail cap and slight soapy, peppery aroma. First light reveals tons of thick creamy rich oily medium bodied smoke with flavors of deep aged tobacco that quickly goes to a almost bitter grass and hay with a long finish and a perfect draw. The first third develops to medium-full flavors of a creamy, oily, smooth earth, pepper & spice with a bit of cinnamon coming in at points, and a long finish of a light earth and pepper with a good zing on the tongue. Burn is quite fast, going about an inch every 5 minutes to this point and the ash holding to the same. 30 minutes in at the 1/2 way point, flavors are joined by a bit of creamy coffee, with everything else remaining the same. Ending at 55 min, the remainder held all the same qualities. Video on the site
