This is a hidden gem. The first thing you notice is the shape, it looks like something from the 1920s. The flavor is what really sold me on this stick. It starts off a little mild because of the tapered foot, but once it opens up, it’s like drinking a rich espresso. It has a distinct coffee and wood profile with just enough sweetness throughout. It’s definitely medium-bodied, maybe leaning a little full towards the nub. I was impressed by how much smoke it put out for a smaller stick. I’d definitely grab a handful of these again. I want to see what else this brand offers

This one was pretty easy going. Definitely got more of the classic Cameroon flavor here, sweet and spicy. It burned well, with a little over snug draw. As I got past the halfway point it became more of a spice and wood dominant profile, and it suffered from the loss of the sweeter components. Still, I would smoke this one again if. Nice slow burn for such a little figurado, I got a full 45 minutes out of this. It’s no short story, but all in all a decent smoke. Glad I tried one.
