Light: Easy. Forgot to note that it had a partially uncut foot. Light to medium draw.
1st 3rd: Oily and a tad bitter, but not overpowering. A little harsh. Woodsy and now some acrid aftertaste. Nothing too overpowering yet… Still in the first third, and I’m sensing a foreboding. An acrid remnant in the mouth at this stage.

Ash: White with tiny ash bubbles. Strong, and holds on for about 1 ¾”

2nd 3rd: Can’t call this one smooth. Toothy with oil and bitter acrid flavor on the aftertaste. Still not too terrible, but I’ve had this for about 6months and it seems I should have aged it for about 3 years. Woodsy, oily and bitter / acrid. Medium body.

3rd 3rd: Redeeming itself a little bit. A little less acrid now, which is letting the oily, woodsy prevail. Still bitter.

Overall impression: Not the most enjoyable, but hey! I just like to smoke!
Thanks to Smoked! for this experience.
