slightly modified formatting...

Smoke ??? ~ 4.5x36 +/-
Drink ~ Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale ; Tunes ~ None

Prelight: Colorado to Colorado maduro shade wrapper (medium brown). Nice construction with triple cap. Not much prelight scent, maybe a little sweet tobacco. Slight musty taste on cut prelight flavor.



Light: Pretty easy. Medium draw

1st 3rd: Woodsy & nutty. Decent amount of peppery spice. Oily bitter twinge at first, but leaves the afore mentioned flavors in the aftertaste. Medium body and medium flavor.



Ash: Light gray to white. Layered well, but doesn't look too strong. Holds on for 3/4"



2nd 3rd: Oil, woodsy, nutty and as usual, I'm finding that the spice has died down a bit. The draw gives a more mellow flavor, but the aftertaste now has a bit more of a bitter note. Good, not awesome, but good. There's also a salty ring right before the aftertaste.



3rd 3rd: The ale seems to be a good pairing....oily, and slightly bitter. Salty and a bit acrid now and then too. That description sounds worse than my actual experience. There are some faint floral accents down in this last 3rd.



Overall Impression: Nice smoke, however isn't quite up my alley (I think)

Thanks Craig for BWC#1

PS, this was totally Craig's surprise idea
