This 5×50 stick features an oily firmly packed dark chocolate wrapper with medium veins, tight invisible seams, triple cap with a unique fuse topper with a sawdust and chocolate aroma.  First light reveals a perfect draw with good medium-full bodied flavors of creamy smooth slightly sweet earth and pepper with a touch of spice on the long finish.  The first third performs much the same with the sweetness going to a soft caramel and a touch of heat through the long finish.  35 minutes in at the 1/2 way point it mellows to a medium body, still without any strength kick.  The sweetness dies down back to a general sugar, the smoke is a bit smoother and the pepper all but disappears on the now short clean finish.  Ending at 50 minutes the last third showed no further changes.
