262 Paradigm

Notes: Gorgeous Mata Fina wrapper, but overly firm towards the head and tight draw. Great complexity from flavors of earth, toast, black licorice and a hazelnut sweetness, with red pepper on the retrohale. The combustion trouble contributed to a bitterness dominating the last third. I'd like to revisit this one again.

Smoking time: One hour, twenty eight minutes

Rating: Three stars
