Overall score:    2.5/5.0

First half was nice.  Mild flavor with occasional cedar, and a long, sweet finish.  Second half the sweet finish became sweet and nutty, but unfortunately, an ashiness developed. 

Construction:     Construction okay.  Firm, no soft/hard spots Double cap.  Split 1/2" at foot.  Medium sized veins.

Prelight:   Mild aroma.  Draw was tight.  Mild flavor.  Toasted, it was nutty. 

First third:      First few puffs were nutty.  Hard draw.  Not a lot of smoke.  Aromatic with a bit of pepper.  Long sweet finish.  Even burn. 

Second third:     Draw eased.  Sweet finish mellowing into a sweet nuttiness.  Occasional cedar, and rarely sour. 

Third third:      Slowly sipped some sweetness remains.  Draw much eased.  Becames ashy.  Front ash and a long, sweet, nutty finish.  Moderate Nicotine buzz.

Overall:    Just smoke the first half.
