Ezra Zion Blessed Leaf Nativity

1/3:

Definitely that EZ signature taste.

Interesting and peppery body. The pepper has been very unique with the EZ sticks, and that applies here.

Semi-robust, almost bold, yet nowhere near overpowering.

Pretty woody. More kinda lighter wood, so probably oak. Most likely not hickory. Still haven't gotten a good reference on cedar.

I remember changing my differential oil, about a month ago, and the smell instantly made me think of EZ. That similar taste-smell is here, and it really goes nicely with the pepper and woody-ness. It's probably a mineral oil, and it adds a very nice middle ground between between the wood and pepper.

2/3:

Wood turns more bread-ish, and cereal grain-ish.

Pepper disappears.

Tasty differential oil gone.

Slight roughness on the end of the retrohale.

Becomes more mild flavored and a subtle cereal grain is the only thing I'm getting. Lots of bland body.

3/3:

Becomes more mild and subtle.

Wrapper breaks off and adds to the drama.

Tossed shortly into the 3/3.

Judgement:

Disappointing stick. Starts great and nose dives after the 1/3. It's the only (of 5) EZ sticks I can honestly say hasn't been worth the price. Maybe this was a fluke stick, but I'll never know since this was the monthly exclusive; but I believe I'll pass or be very hesitant on future Blessed Leaf releases.

Thanks again for the stick!
