Pros:
|
lots of smoke! and good smelling smoke.
|
|
Cons:
|
too much bitterness in the beginning
|
|
scent of wrapper: barnyard and hay or straw?
scent at foot: straw or hay. kind of sweet
wrapper appearance: not many veins, but a very bumpy appearance
feel: extremely spongy / I thought it was way over humidified, but there was no stuggle in burn or pull.
flavor on draw: still the barnyardy taste with hay or straw and a little bit of sweetness.
taste: the first 1/3 was quite bitter leading into leather and cocoa, the 2/3 was more of a buttery leather flavor that didnt last long enough for me. 3/3 stayed pretty consistant til right at the end and became pretty harsh.
strength: Mild to medium?
feeling: I did have a heavy buzz by the time i had finished this one. *see additional notes
scent of smoke: kind of sweet, not abrasive at all
draw: great amounts of smoke.
finish: leather
additional notes: wrapper started to unravel towards the end. I paired this with Old Resputin Stout, which i had never had before. 9% so i dont know if that was a major influence on my "buzz feeling" would try again with water just to be sure.
