Second Third – It transitions to cream and coffee notes with the leather remaining on the finish. The burn remains sharp and ash fell at the 3-inch mark.
Final Third – Cedar and cream kick up on the transition with that nice leather note sitting on the finish with slight spice. The pepper hits the palate hard towards the end of the smoke.
