    Intro:

    Was gonna come with a stronger-energied review, but that simmered down when I finally got to writing it, about three hours later. Got another stick ready to go, so this will be quick:

    1/3:

    Very full bodied, bold and full of flavor. Very strong pepper on the retrohale at first. Draws perfectly and almost too easily. Strong tobacco flavor with a complex and poweful spice. Nice tobacco bite on the residual. The nose acclimates after a while, especially when pulling softly. Hints of chocolate after the acclimation through the nose and mouth. Smooth, yet rough, but not rough in a bad way. Very, very, very nnnnniiiiiiiiccccccceeeee.

    2/3:

    Profile notches down a bit. Boldness is still there, but it's not as rough. Pepper still cuts the nose nicely, but it too has lessened. Sweetness picks up a little, and with the chocolate. Pretty much the same other than that, and is still rock-solid.

    3/3:

    Profile again notches down, but it just may be my acclimation. Can't remember much beyond that, though about 1/2 through the 3/3, it did intensify. It's remained full bodied up till now, but maybe I'm just describing how it becomes more smooth with the melding and progression.
