Review Notes: I was gifted one of these, so I'm not sure of the age, but from the taste I'd say it was pretty young. Tannic, with a bitter aftertaste, but lots of pepper and a soft toasty aroma made up for its youthful aggression. Construction was good, but the burn was a little ragged toward the end. A powerful but smooth short smoke with huge potential. A couple years on these to mellow the tannins and this will be a stellar 30 minute smoke.
