KAREN BERGER CONNECTICUT LANCERO TASTING NOTES

- Pre-Light: Expect aromas of fresh hay, cedar, and a gentle creaminess. 

- First Third: The smoke opens with a smooth, creamy texture and notes of sweet cream, toasted bread, and a touch of almond. There’s a gentle white pepper on the retrohale, but nothing overpowering.

- Mid-Smoke: Flavors become a bit richer, with hints of honey, light citrus, and a soft nuttiness. The body stays mild to medium, and the draw remains effortless.

- Final Third: The creaminess lingers, joined by subtle cedar, a bit more pepper, and a faint note of graham cracker sweetness. The finish is clean and satisfying, never harsh.

- Aroma: Inviting and mellow, with notes of wood, cream, and a hint of floral sweetness.
