Light: Took a little effort. Medium draw.
1st 3rd: Full body and flavor. Strong oil flavor & a semi-sweet chocolate sweetness. Pulls a mild spicy note mixed with sweet on draw, and leaves the semi-sweet oil on aftertaste. It coats the palate with these flavors.

Ash: Solid appearance. Yellow twinge on a medium grey background. Holds on for ¾”

2nd 3rd: Oily. Leather mixed in now with the semi-sweetness. Full body little ass kicker. Not nicotine, but lots of flavor. Perfect sweet and bitter mix.

3rd 3rd: Oily again. Bitter overtaking the sweet and a little leather now. Very thick mouth feel on the aftertaste. This beer cuts it nicely and is a pretty good pairing.

Overall impression: I will eventually pick up a box of these. Very nice smoke.
Thanks to a generous BOTL

Badwhale rating: Accumulate on price dips.
You really have a talent for describing the flavor profile. These are good enough to keep a box on hand?
