Filler: all ligero mixture: Peru and Nicaragua
Size: 6 x 52 – Toro
My Strength Rating: 9
On the light: Full espresso roast, fine black pepper rounds off the full taste
1 – 2 inches: Full dark roast coffee continues, there is still some fine black pepper but not as strong as before.
The texture is coarse. The smoke leaves some deep roasted notes on the palate. It is thick and chewy on the mouthfeel.
Midway: If you inhale by mistake on this you probably won’t like the experience. This is full. Beautiful gray smoke fills the air. A firm ash and it is easy to get an inch or so-on the ash before removing it.
Final 2 inches: Still a firm ash. The dark roasted notes continue with the black pepper notes building a bit but not overwhelming. The smoke is intense! My eyes did water a few times from the smoke.
Make sure you are in the mood for this one. I have enjoyed a few of these with a good beverage and the one or two that I had all by itself – came across harsh. Pair this with a good porter or stout.
