The opening draw delivers dark chocolate, honeycomb, red oak, and black peppercorn. Espresso, aged leather, and clove follow immediately, with a spicy pepper burn on the retrohale. As the smoke settles into the second third, clover honey, vanilla bean, café latte, and toasted nuts emerge. The final third crescendos with caramel, mocha, rum barrel, and cinnamon stick — a finish that lingers like sugar cookies well past the nub.
