So, this one was purchased at Tenuta's. After liighting up with a torch, the first 4-5 minutes was very peppery before settling into a very mild, creamy smoke. The weight and construction is well-balanced and solid. Paired with a Charles Shaw Shiraz, the first 1/3 is quite pleasant. I could easily imagine pairing with a nice cup of morning java.
The 2/3 strengthened up a bit, but remained smooth, with a woody, dry finish. I imagine the final 1/3 would have been full, but I had someplace I needed to be, and I had enjoyed it enough. Good smoke. 3.5/5.0 stars
