What a piece by EP Carillo AND of course the family here at Privada Brian never fails man always finding a way to come through one way or another and at ANOTHER level just like the levels of this burst of cocoa with red and white crushed pepper cream with it and the retro has an exceptional flavor to offer bits of slightly moist leather and earth man so much going on and more on a full yet so delicious smoke 💨 💨 it’s really satisfying had it late evening nice breeze out also mannnnnn! May i say more? Highly recommend it to the mid to seasoned smoker, I would even recommend to the starter if you like some like cedar I’d say wood. Man just try it if you haven’t it’s a must…

On light up the retro hale has some nice black pepper and cinnamon notes. The draw flavours are a sweet hay. The finish is a chocolate note.
As the 1st third goes down I’m getting a cocoa on the draw and milk chocolate on the finish.
The 2nd third continues with the cocoa and a roast coffee has crept in.
The final third sees the roast coffee amp up.
Although slightly more expensive a stick and a shorter smoking time, I would highly recommend.
