Strong peppery notes at light up and retrohale. Oily wrapper with firm construction and good draw. Earth & leather notes. Sweetness coming through seems like dark chocolate. Even burn so far in first third. Some bitterness transitioning to second third. Even more earthy notes. The second third is harsher. The finish has a bite. The last third required a relight. Sweetness coming back. This is a very earthy smoke.
I stopped posting here because I wasn't smoking anything new. Today I was bowled over by this double leaf stick. From the first puff to the last it delivered smoking pleasure. It had a rich dark coffee flavor with hints of dark chocolate in a fine earthy underguirding. The draw was easy and cool. The ash length was good with an even burn to the nub.
