Tasting Notes
First third. First light is a huge wave of dark caramel, red oak wood, espresso beans, and buttercream. Brown sugar follows with hints of black pepper and cinnamon, while the retrohale adds a peppery cayenne burn.
Second third. Brown sugar and vanilla bean emerge, joined by aged leather, toasted almonds, and maple. The age of the tobacco is already starting to shine through.
Halfway. The body rounds out as the richness grows — big notes of milk chocolate, cedarwood, Amaretto, and marshmallow, with hints of toffee, white pepper, and walnut balancing the complexity.
Final third. Everything comes to a crescendo: bold cappuccino, cake frosting, red pepper, and cream. The long finish adds toasted nuts, clove, cinnamon stick, and whiskey — cool all the way to the nub.
Available individually or as a 5-pack preorder.
