Construction: Firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Cedarwood.

1st third: Starts with a creamy smoke, toasted bread, cedarwood and floral sweetness.

2nd third: Additional raw hazelnuts step forward.

Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm and stable white-ish ash.

Smoke: Voluminous smoke with a medium cool feeling on the tongue with a light draw.
