Alec & Bradley Kintsugi Robusto

This 5×50 stick features a slightly red hued dark brown wrapper with a soft even pack, dry slightly toothy feel, minimal veins, tight invisible seams, triple cap and rich hay and cocoa aroma. First light reveals a good draw with medium bodied gritty smoke showing a building slightly sweet leather and spice through the long finish. The first third burns well but very quickly and with short ash drops. Flavors are down to mild-medium dropping the sweetness and spice with just a bit of leather left and a generic dry wood taking over with a shorter finish. Ending at 40 minutes the rest is largely the same with a fleeting rootbeer on the draw near the end.
