Fine veins, even wrapper no blemishes.
Clean even fill, cut clean, pre-light draw good with chocolate & coffee tones.

5:27 PM First 1/3
Chocolate, coffee with a sweetness to the finish in the mouth, touch of wood tones. Ash held 1.25" in a fresh breeze 8-10 mph, the chocolate deepened from a semisweet, to a richer dark chocolate flavor, while the coffee became smoother. Burn was crisp sharp & even.

5:47 PM Second 1/3
There are some flavors bordering on "floral" the coffee had lightened, but it still has pleasant chocolate sweetness in the mouth. Second ash fall about an inch an a quarter (+) flavor deepens, coffee comes back with darker roast fuller flavors, still smooth but less creamy.

Sweet cool smoke with an even draw & burn, mild throughout, the "floral" tones have become hidden again, the chocolate is still dominant.

6:07 PM Ash is flakier gray, the cherry has stayed forward, with the wrapper holding a clean crisp burn line, 3rd ash dropped at an inch (+) again, about 1.75" left, pleasant enough to continue to smoke towards a nub. Dark chocolate still holding it's sweetness into the final 1/3rd coffee & floral notes are gone.

Down to 1.5" smoke beginning to warm, nicotine buzz increasing, turning a little bitter after an over all sweet smoke.

Chocolate sweet after taste, very pleasant experience.

6:18 PM Nubbed at 1", making it a 51 minute smoke or 10 minutes an inch!

Bought as a bundle of 20 from CI 52.3¢/ stick, very pleasant smoke for the money, it would do well as an after meal smoke or with a coffee, to accent the chocolate & coffee flavors
