Good looking stick with a few veins. Firm feel with a deep tobacco aroma.
First third - Quite a dry smoke. Flavors primarily of light cocoa, cedar, and tobacco. Overall the smoke is very light. The draw is super easy with tons of smoke available. The stick is burning very well. The cocoa flavor subsides near the end of this third and it finishes up with primarily tobacco flavor.
Second third - Remaining consistent in flavor. I'm now noticing a mild sweetness on the lips and a small amount of peppery spice. It is slowly building up in flavor finishing with a fairly strong mocha taste and an increasingly long aftertaste.
Last third - Mocha flavors really building now as well as peppery spice. The aftertaste continues to build in intensity. Certainly a solid medium strength smoke now. It finished quite spicy with flavors of mocha and tobacco.
A pretty good smoke overall. Excellent draw and burn. It was consistently building in intensity but unfortunately not exactly my cup of tea flavor wise.
