This is a flavor-packed little bugger of smoke from end to end.
1st third: Right after toasting the foot and getting started I was hit with a rich coffee/cocoa flavor with just a touch of spice. A great burn with lots of light gray ash. It started out a little tight on the draw but I fixed that with my handy paperclip that I keep around.
Mid third: I felt a dryness on the tongue that reinforced the unsweetened cocoa flavor. Maybe just a little leather in there too. It was also just a touch smoother on taste.
Last third: Very similar taste profile all the way to the nub.
This was a very consistant and strong flavored smoke for me. My first CAO of any type and I was well please with what it brought me tonight. An 8+ in the rating department.
