I was at work and shared some with friends.
I had one but only tasted a cigarette and smoke.
Then I had a good one (another).. Overbearing but mild flavor. It tested infused but not? I tasted some Hershe dark chocolate and Fig, but mostly the conflagration brought smoke like Oak. I have the rest of the box to go through…
Burn is good and the smoke only slightly dilutes the flavors in the second half.

Solid stick. I got the classic Connecticut flavors from this. Hay, cedar and some grassiness. There was some slight pepper and floral notes. Didn’t know what to expect with this but was pleasantly surprised. Construction was rock solid. Great draw and burn. Would be happy to smoke this again.

Interesting blend. Quite a bit of pepper on this one but it works well with the floral and sweet notes in the profile. Cayenne, fruit zest, peanuts, a hint of butter and cinnamon keep this smoke interesting.
