NSC Comments:
- Smoke nose, strong
- Strong taste, complex, very complex
- Smoke lasts all the way down the throat but doesn’t have a burn so much as a scratch
- First touch on the tongue is pepper
- You can add water but it doesn’t need it
- Not simple, Smoke at the end, Smooth smoke
- The whole club believes further investigation is required, perhaps a road trip…
