First interesting note is the smell. It reminds me of cough syrup, and faint cigar smoke. The first sip, I taste tobacco, and a leathery type...something. Little to non-existent burn, and overall smoothy smooth! Taste #2 - it is growing on me. I taste jerky and the remnants of a smoked cigar. I moved from 3 to 4 stars. More to come?
