Off the Light: a solid dose of soil earthy tones with a nice
splash of spice. As the smoke continues
the spice reminds me of dusty white pepper.
A hardwood note develops to mingle with the heavy soil. I’ll give it a 6 on my strength scale.
Mid-Point: finally getting to the mid-point; rich soil still
on the main profile, with some hardwood, some cedar, just a hint of that white
pepper, and a nice dry medium-dark coffee note.
Down the Stretch: the solid forest floor quality continues
on the final third, a light dusty white pepper spice continues, the mouthfeel
is dry and dusty like
My Strength Rating: 6 – right on the boarder of medium
medium-full.
To the Point: a quality earthy smoke that will need a beverage
to keep the palate refreshed.
