Sweet tobacco
Sweet tobacco, cocoa, fig Newton bar, dates
Sweet tobacco, fruit, white pepper
At first light: black and red pepper, dark cocoa powder.
Quickly transitions into smoked paprika and powdered cumin with black pepper, red pepper, and toast on the retrohale, in addition to a pepper tingle in the back of the throat. The finish is filled with dark fruit notes. The draw is very loose but produces lots of creamy smoke.
Cream cheese and dry toast with dry and powdery smoke. The retrohale transitions from peppery to nuts and toast.
All spices are gone and a sweetness begins to settle in. Cereal, cream, sweet chocolate, and red fruit with a slight tang. Reminiscent of black cherry. The cigar ended with sweet tobacco, chocolate, and tart fruit.
