# I see now what the hype was about. - The Lounge Group

Wow, this thing is a power house of flavor. Amazing construction, good draw, burn and the wrapper is beautiful and toothy. All the physical characteristics I look for and love. Taste. I get a strong espresso and spice. Nice touch of hickory vs the cedar im used to. Posted in The Lounge by Wildkard on December 10 2025 7:04:19 PM

Wow, this thing is a power house of flavor. Amazing construction, good draw, burn and the wrapper is beautiful and toothy. All the physical characteristics I look for and love. Taste. I get a strong espresso and spice. Nice touch of hickory vs the cedar im used to. Cant entirely tell if its just pepper or a mix of baking spices. Little light sweetness i cant quite peg. Good leather hints on the retro-hale and aroma. Down side, the long linger after taste isn't the best.
