This box-pressed torpedo boasts a rich and intense cocoa flavor profile, paired with a smooth, even draw and burn. The earthy undertones of freshly brewed espresso are evident, complemented by nutty nuances and subtle hints of leather, all culminating in a finish with a slight flinty edge. While the overall experience is satisfying, some variability was observed in the smoke.
