Wrapper: Milk chocolate, oily and smooth with tiny veins.
Construction: Firm even feel when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Light cedarwood note.
1st third: Starts with a light cedarwood note, followed by a creamy cappuccino and hazelnuts.
2nd third: It looses it’s cedarwood note now with a soft hay and the coffee in the background.
Burn: Burns a bit wonky, a little flaky but still firm and stable whiteish ash.
Smoke: Light smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue and a tight draw.
3rd third: Livens up a bit with a white pepper spice appearing on the lips. Otherwise keeps the flavours from part 2.
