First impressions are very good, springy but not soft, lookswell made, pleasing odour.
Pre draw seems very loose, leaving some mild woody flavours.
1/3 Copious cool smoke from the start, no harshness, plentyof tobacco and mild spice flavours. The draw still seems a touch loose but nota problem.
2/3 Ash clung on until 1 1/2 Inches,flavours seem consistent with the beginning possibly slightly more complex,smoking very well indeed.

3/3 Just got a touch harsh which a quick purge sorted out,basically more of the same flavours, did not get as complex as i was expecting. Smoked to 1\2 inch after 50 minutes.
Conclusion; a pleasure to smoke, and I can understand whythey are so popular, but they do seem a touch expensive. Think I would probablypass on getting more, or possibly just buy a few to age.
