Fairly tight draw and smoke was a touch on the thin side but it was beautifully cool, smoke volume and density increased substantially at the halfway point.
Initially quite peppery with substantial cedar, shifts to slightly sweet and creamy coffee but retains the peppery core. Medium to full bodied but strength is fairly low if smoked nice and slow.
Ash retention is phenomenal, I tapped it at the band, no sign of it dropping, but I got paranoid about it dropping on me, revealed a perfect cone. Burn was perfect, completely even to the end, no need to touch up.
Seriously impressed by this.
