Hints of honey sweetness, cedar and earth as well as butterscotch, heavy dark chocolate Slight bitterness on the palate. The honey sweetness is gone replaced by leather

Dark chocolate is the overlying with almond and anise very nice

This is an enjoyable smoke. For the price of $8-9 I would smoke it again and again and again even if it was more expensive.
