Light: Easy, Medium-tight draw.

2nd 3rd: Smooth, but with just a faint spice. Nice balance of tobacco, cashew like nut flavor, and an oily flavor. It melds together really nice. I’m getting that Cuban background saltwater taffy note also.

3rd 3rd: More spicy now. Picking back up the oily ring, but it mixes well with the sweet leather and nuttiness. Background saltwater taffy notes and maybe a tart berry note. Smooth.

Overall impression: When the price is right, I’ll get more.
