Flavor Journey
-
First third: Intense pepper and earth open the smoke, followed quickly by cedar, baking cocoa, leather, and a growing espresso depth; tight draw loosens after a moment.
-
Mid-smoke: Creamy texture appears alongside pepper, roasted nuts, spice, and orange zest rounding the dark core.
-
Final third: Creaminess and cocoa fully bloom into a “Creamsicle-like” sweetness; earthy and creamy notes carry to a satisfying full-bodied nub.
