No mixture of finishing staves in mine. Got mine from Cleveland Ohio, mine is straight 10 staves of makers 46. Nose: heavy vanilla and leather Palate: vanilla and packs a decent amount of heat Finish is short and fairly tasteless but the heat tingles the lips for a few seconds before tapering away. Not overly impressed with this one. Not awful by any means but I won’t be lining up at the store the next time this limited release comes out. There is better value for the money out there in my opinion.
