Gotta bump this one, I smoked one of these tonight and found the first 1/3 to be peppery and spicy with notes of earth, the second 1/3 took on a lot of coffee flavors while the pepper died down. The last 1/3 was too bitter for my tastes and it met an early extinguishing. Even at that, this is one of the better nc's Ive had and I have 4 more to enjoy. Recommended. Thanks for the review!
