After Toast:

First third – ​Out of the gate some real earthy flavors mixed with roasted nuts. The nuts quickly fade and transition into a coffee note. Then some spice kicks in at the 10-15-minute mark. Slight pepper in the back of the throat. Burn is slight wavy. Ash fell around an inch and a half.

Second Third – ​ ​The coffee and spice carry over into this third, but I keep getting small short single puffs of some tropical citrus fruits in here. Makes each draw like a surprise. Pretty cool component. Burn still wavy.

Final Third – ​ ​The coffee notes carry into this third. Spice goes away and earthy notes pick back up to finish this off.  Burn remained wavy.

Bourbon – Angels Envy
