Overall:    Nothing happenning here, go back to your homes.  Well constructed.  VERY MILD.  Burning paper flavor profile.  No aftertaste to speak of.  A non-event.  Nice tubes. 

Ambience:   Afternoon in the sunny sunroom studying blood test results.  Lipids not good.  Little woman off to sew until tomorrow.  Taking a vacation from house projects. 

Appearance: Bigger than my usual fare.  Small veined, thin, dusky milk-chocolate colored wrapper with some tooth.  Quite hard with no soft spots.  Long triple cap. 

Cut & Prelight:   Mild sweet leather aroma.  Cut well, yielding an open draw, a pepper-filled draw flavor, and substantial lip tingle. 

First third:      Initially rather bitter.  Took a 1/2" to get going well, produce a lot of smoke, and lose the bitterness.  Mild, somewhat like burning peppered paper.  Very mild.  Good smoke volume.  Excellent burn.  Kind of boring, plan to abandon at half-way point.  Compact ash held to 1.5".

Second third:     Boring.  Still very mild burnt paper.  Abandoned.
