Gold color. Aromas and flavors of mesquite roasted mixed nuts, horchata and all spice, vanilla and marzipan, and Connecticut shade wrapper with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, engaging, medium-length finish conveying elements of smoked caramel sauce, horchata, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice, and vanilla coconut cream. Light smoke with a light sweet spice to the barley grain; would love to pair this with an Ashton Cigar.
