Ken Byron Ventures B. Frog's Voodoo Tour

The slowly matured bright Virginia cavendish provides a lot of tart and tangy citrus, tangy stewed dark fruit, vegetative grass, toast, sugar, some hay, wood, earth, spice, light peat, and a touch of acidity as the lead component. The perique offers a lot of tingly spice, earth, wood, dried unsweetened plums, some figs, and mild floralness as an important supporting player. The red Virginia produces some tangy dark fruit, earth, wood, bread, mild sugar, floralness, light vegetation, tart citrus, and a slight vinegar note. It’s a step above the condiment line. The extremely mild fruit casings accent the experience. Apricot is one of them. The strength and nic-hit are close to the center of medium to strong. The taste is a slot past that center. No chance of bite or harshness. Has a few small rough edges. Well balanced, it burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a very consistent fruity, spicy, floral, mildly dry, deeply rich flavor that extends to the pleasantly lingering after taste. The room note is pungent. Barely leaves any dampness in the bowl. Requires an average number of relights. Not an all day smoke, but it is repeatable. Three and a half stars.
