Toned down in intensity, but not from the jump. Almost thought the viso and seco were accidentally swapped or mislabed by me.

Bit more flavors than the viso, but some not from the wheel. Went bland in the 3/3, whereas the viso stayed very yummy throughout.

Notes coming soon.

Thanks again, TJ.

Region: Condega
Seed: Criollo 98

Seco
Cold Draw: Rye Bread. Note: Tight Draw
Notes of Cashews and weak ice tea - very smooth if not mild smoke with touch of white pepper.
Then a flavor hits my brain and I lock on to it: Sunflower Seeds - you know, just the hearts, none of the flavors on the shell.
Sunflower seed all the way, I cannot think of anything else to call it from here on out. Very mild smoke.


Viso
Cold Draw: Airy fruitcake - just the cake part,but with notable spice on the lips. And a smell of corrugated cardboard.
Pepper that intensified over the first inch. Strong enough that I double checked the box to make sure I didn't grab the Ligero.
Walnut skin comes through, but pepper remains. Not cayenne, but intense - like coarse ground peppercorn.

Ligero
Cold Draw: Rye bread again, but with pepper that hits the back of the throat.
Overall, this seems more like a blend of the Seco and Viso - In a blind test, I'd flip the Viso and Ligero.
Some Oak comes through, but black pepper is up front and now the Vitamin N strength is making itself known- Now I believe its Ligero.

Looks like we both ballpark'd the same tastes across the board for Condega.

It's interesting you got sunflower seeds on the seco; where I got salty, and maybe almond if any nut.

I'm glad you suggested waiting on dropping the notes till we were both done, else I'd probably be influenced to say my salty nuts were sunflower seeds.

I'll have to grab the laptop so I can try to read your notes. I did notice your arrows on the wheel.
