PART#2 CLR MSU NOV 18 (SM2RW) 

Well I have not had a tent post lately... so here we go. 2 guillotines and a v cut later I was working a PD tool deep into this peg. I felt like a miner questioning my sanity knowing full well I should pitch this stick despite it’s beautiful wrapper and cold nose. well I got it lit.

1/3: uber firm draw so smoke production low and slow. I am getting nuts and dough with very little pepper. Smoke increases a bit after first 1/2”. Thank you but still golf ball stuck in this garden hose. The flavors keep me in the game. At times some leather, earthy or Unami on the retro. Below medium strength. The end of this third showing more spices pepper notes on the finish. Burn is surprisingly OK.

2/3: Smoke production getting better and almost a proper mouthful at times. The high post rain humidity is not helping matters here. More toasted tobacco and dough now with nuts running for the hills. Spicy finish. Medium + onward. Wrapper binder burn slightly lagging filler causing some disjointed flavors. I pitch this at the half pole. Not a good example from this otherwise good box. Good tobacco marred by a crap rolling. No score here

That's a real shame. I hope the next one provides a better experience.

Thanks for posting.

I am sure it will. The preceding ones have smoked real well so no worries ?

Nice review, shame the P2 was not up to par.

The 2 P2s I had this year were the standouts this year, brilliant!
