Misc.: Nothing recorded.

Pre-light: Box press. Colorado shade wrapper, but splotchy colors of dark brown. It’s a funny looking wrapper. It has a distinct cigarette tobacco scent, like a fresh opened box of camels. Cool gaudy over the top band art. Nice. Tangy tobacco ring on the cut prelight taste.

Light: Easy with a Bic lighter. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Mellow. Light to medium body. Nice licorice sweet tobacco with a mix of woodsy notes to keep it just a bit toothy. Burns nice and draw is perfect. Hints of oil and a little spice.

2nd 3rd: Still mellow. Not quite as light as the Elegencia, but less than the regular line. Sweet tobacco, and a slight oily mix. I like it. It sofar is a lighter twist, but in between the other blends. Slight licorice note still there.

3rd 3rd: Same. Mellow and pretty smooth. Nice mix of oil, woodsy notes. Leaving a nice coating of flavor on the tongue.

Overall impression: I would pony up for a box, or at least a fiver.

Thank you wise golf teacher from Illinois.
