Review Notes: This was a very good smoke overall. The first 1/2" was a little harsh (maybe I over-toasted it). but after that the taste really mellowed out. I pulled out notes of spice, nuts, and leather. The draw was excellent after a little extra trimming from the end. I smoked this all the way down to about 1 1/2", not once did the smoke get hot or unpleasant. Just a good all around smoke.
