Profile

  • Wrapper: Subtle barnyard hay aroma.
  • Cold Draw: Slight sappiness but no distinct flavor.
  • Start: Nutmeg, creamy sweetness, and mild spice that subdues after the initial puffs.
  • First Third: Creamy profile remains strong, with hints of earthiness, subtle sweetness, and a growing leather note.
  • Second Third: Spice calms as sweetness increases, with salted butter, savory creaminess, and toasted nuttiness (peanut) emerging. Rich, toasty, and leathery notes intensify near the end of the second third.
  • Final Third: Strong, rich finish with leather, earth, white pepper, and baking spices taking center stage.
  • Retrohale: Burns the nostrils with a subtle cedar note.
  • Construction: Excellent airflow, solid construction, and a mostly even burn throughout.
