Strength: Medium
Tasting Notes: First light is a tidal wave of white chocolate, hot cocoa, heavy cream, and coffee. Cake frosting, white pepper, and maple wood bring the perfect balance. The finish lingers for a long time adding caramelized sugar and vanilla bean notes. The retrohale adds a warm cinnamon burn.
As it progresses, aged leather, amaretto liqueur, and red peppercorn emerge. Chocolate pudding sweetness lingers on the tongue.
Halfway, the age of the tobaccos really starts to come through. Caramel, brown sugar, and buttercream join the mix. Nutmeg and clove bring hints of spice. Spectacular!
Last third, the creaminess goes off the charts! Big notes of butter and marshmallow. Hints of cashew, cinnamon stick, nougat, and bourbon appear. The sweetness and depth of flavor continues to grow and grow until the very nub of the nub! Phenomenal smoke!
