# Prepping for the Preakness - The Lounge Group

While enjoying the early races today before the Preakness, I decided to have a Damaso. The Damaso is a mild to medium bodied smoke that starts off creamy smooth and then picks up a bit of pepper and then keeps the spice with a touch of honey.

While enjoying the early races today before the Preakness, I decided to have a Damaso. The Damaso is a mild to medium bodied smoke that starts off creamy smooth and then picks up a bit of pepper and then keeps the spice with a touch of honey. The construction is very good, good draw that holds a nice ash with an even burn line. This smoke belongs in the winners circle.
