Light: Easy. Medium to light draw.
1st 3rd: Leather. Some oily. A little bitterness. Seems somewhat mild, maybe bordering on medium. Bitterness backs off some & now I’m getting a more woodsy nutty combo. Not bad at all.

Ash: Scaly & flakey. An even array of light to dark ash mottled together. Holds on for about 1 ½”

2nd 3rd: Good balance of leather, some oil & a woodsy nutty flavor. Not much spiciness, and has a medium nose exhale burn.

3rd 3rd: Same. Leather dropping off a bit & is covered by the woodsy oily flavors. A little hot in the last 3rd. Pretty decent smoke IMHO.

Overall impression: If I could get a screaming deal on cBid, maybe… But it doesn’t make my list of “must gets”
Thanks TravPSU for the opportunity (and yes, the burn clears up with some age on it ;))
