TL;DR - plagued by bad burn and charred Bok Choy flavor. Yuk. 👎 5 mos aged. ⏳️ Prelight mild tobacco and light barnyard. Construction appears sufficient. Light-up is bad. The core is burning excessively slow while on the side there is a runner. As the smoke continues, the cherry just won't ignite properly. So, that's a bad light up and a bad burn. Flavors are initially elusive, though charred vegetable emerges at the palate that had better disappear. That's a Bok Choy foulness I just don't need. 👎 Yea. I've passed the first third and nothing has changed. Early discard.

Good construction. Even burn even in the wind. I didn’t care for the flavor profile. Strong hints of earth throughout. The last third was very peppery. I stopped at the beginning of the 1st third.

Wrapper looks like leather. Cold draw has sweet spice to it. Don't let the Honduran tobacco fool you; this is a full stick with a long peppery finish. The burn line has been pretty bad, but I let it go out twice. A bit nutty and fuller than expected.

Earthy flavors with a nutty aroma.

Good smoke. Earthy with black pepper. Cinimon in the first third.

Mild medium body
