Light: Did the cedar splint, ‘cause the lighter is upstairs…Easy with a medium draw.
1st 3rd: Woodsy, spicy, oily and nutty. Yet, all smooth and balanced sofar. Off the bat, it seems I’m in for a treat here. The oil is a nice accent to the IPA.

Ash: Very well layered light gray. Holds on for 1 ¼”

2nd 3rd: Basically like the first 3rd. Nice woodsy, oil. Cut it open a bit more. Much better draw. Spicy, but not overpowering. Not creamy either, but well balanced.

3rd 3rd: Delcious. Very consistent. Woodsy and oily with a great balance. Yes, it does taste “Nicaraguan”
