Overall it was a pretty good smoke, ran a little bit hot and definitely had some steam in it but that could be user error since i didn’t let it dry very long. The body of the smoke was almost unnoticeable but still slightly there. The taste is mild in my opinion with notes of sourdough bread and green grapes/ white wine. It starts out a little astringent and then sweetens up the further down the bowl you go. I liked it but it wasn’t an incredible blend by any means. I think the burley really shines through during the first half of the bowl and then the virginia takes over near the end.
