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.
