I actually quite enjoyed this stick the 2nd time smoking it. Maybe it is the year of age that mellowed out some of the sharper notes but I would recommend. Coco and pepper notes still dominant.

This thing is strong. I love Broadleaf, and while it does have that distinct sweetness the pepper, spice, and leather really overshadow it. I think they need a few years.

HVC Black Friday 2021, Too full body for me. Better said, it is overpowering. I am sure with some age on it, it will mellow out and taste better.

HVC Black Friday 2021. Medium strength and full body. Not exactly in my wheelhouse. If you enjoy the Wise Man Maduro or EP Carrillo Pledge, I am sure that you will enjoy the HVC Black Friday 2021. The black Friday has that persistent Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper sweetness throughout the smoke all the while amped up red pepper, earth and leather that regrettable overpowers the Broadleaf sweetness.
