- Initial Third: Opens with bold notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and earth. Hints of cedar, leather, and a gentle pepper spice, especially on the retrohale. A subtle underlying sweetness and nutty undertones add complexity.

- Middle Third: Earthiness becomes more pronounced, with the pepper spice mellowing. Flavours of oak, liquorice, and a touch of mustiness may emerge. The smoke remains creamy and smooth, with a soft, balanced texture.

- Final Third: Intensifies with deeper earth, wood, and a return of pepper spice. Notes of mocha, walnut, and black tea develop, with a lingering sweetness and a robust, satisfying finish. The strength edges toward medium-full, maintaining smoothness throughout.

- Aroma: Expect a bouquet of cedar, earth, roasted coffee, cocoa, and sweet spice, with a creamy, mellow undertone.

- Mouthfeel: The smoke is dense and creamy, with a velvet-like texture and a consistently even burn. The large ring gauge ensures a cool, leisurely smoke and ample flavour development.
