Light: Easy, with a medium to light draw.
1st 3rd: Spicy, with a nice sweet woodsy tobacco ring. A bit toothy, but not too harsh. A slight walnut skin oil bitter, but not as dominant. Burning sideways.

2nd 3rd: Whoa. Went kinda ashy flavored now. Give it a purge and a touch up. Still seems like a bad roll, but flavors devolve into ashy – oily. Sweet tobacco? Not as much, but still not too harsh.

3rd 3rd: Burn kinda won’t correct. Some flavors have salvaged themselves, like some sweet tobacco, but generally has been tarnished by the 2nd 3rd ashy flavor. Try another purge…nah the 1st 3rd was the highlight.

Overall impression: Won’t seek more.
