The smoky, woody, earthy, floral, lightly leathery, musty sweet Cyprian Latakia is the lead component. The fermented Virginias offer some tangy dark fruit, earth, wood, bread, mild tart and tangy citrus, sugar, light floralness, a pinch of spice and a hint of vinegar. They play an important support role. The floral Orientals provide earth, wood, mild dry sourness, some buttery sweetness, herbs, vegetation, and light spice in the third position. The strength and nic-hit are a couple of steps past the center of mild to medium. The taste is slot past that mark, almost reaching the medium mark. No chance of bite or harshness, and sports very few rough edges. This crumble kake is moist and easy to break apart, but I did not dry it. Your preference may vary. Burns cool, clean and a little slow with a very consistent smoky sweet and savory rich flavor that extends to the lightly lingering, pleasant after taste. The room note is a notch stronger. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires a few relights. Can be an all day smoke. Three and a half stars.
