CAO Black Bengal
Very handsome chocolate brown wrapper with excellent construction. Miniscule veins. No soft spots. Very smooth and easy draw. Lots of smoke with nice aroma. Gray-white ash and very even burn. Starts strong and mellows thereafter. Predominantly leather and complex spice with some vanilla and mild cream. Finishes with mild lingering pepper undertones that are not harsh. Smoked in the late afternoon and took about an hour ("Bengal" size - 6"x50). Definitely stands out as one of the best N/C sticks I've had. Bought a box.
