Very Dark oily wrapper with solid construction. Barnyard scent on the wrapper with being more pungent on the foot. Nice woody prelight draw. Starts out rich and earthy, leathery cocoa with a peppery background. Retrohale of this stick is a Wasabi kick to the nasal passages. Nice blend of Espresso cocoa and leather throughout this full bodied stick. Had one burn issues which required a touch up, but could be because I just received them. Nice stick and glad I bought a 10 pack of them.
