Strength: Medium - Full
Tasting Notes: First light is a massive blast of flavor! Extra-dark chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pepper rush across the palate. Vanilla frosting, heavy cream, and woodsy notes of bourbon barrel immediately follow. The finish is long adding cane sugar and leather. The retrohale adds a warm pepper burn.
As it progresses, espresso, maple, and clove appear. A blast of vanilla bean immediately follows giving a lingering creamy sweetness.
Halfway, the flavors get even more rich and intense! Molasses, melted butter, and aged leather join the mix. The age of the tobacco starts to really come through magnificently. Cocoa powder, cardamom, and angel food cake. Amazing!
Last third, the flavors crescendo! Huge notes of chocolate truffles, candied walnuts, and cayenne pepper. Sweet tea, hazelnuts, and licorice emerge adding to the extremely complex bouquet of flavors! Absolute game-changer!
