SC Mercaderes EMA NOV 07 - PL and SC Review Comp. 2016

[godpheonix]

looks great, nice construction, good draw, cold draw reveals earthy notes with some sweetness.

1st third

Mostly creamy \ nutty profile from the start. Nice floral notes creep in a bit later on. Big blast of pepper ( cayenne maybe ?) drops in out of nowhere. its a bit strong! then settles, i get some stewed fruit notes, blackberries? quite nice.

2nd third

burn is immaculate. lots of nice smoke. shortly after getting into the second third, i start getting some chocolate cake flavors! real nice! this stays for some time...

final third

nice marshmallow and peanut notes come in and out. really something!  then fruit and nuts...then ends with some nice coffee cream notes with a just a bit of  charcoal starting to show itself. put it to rest shortly after.

overall, complex smoke, never going above medium and well balanced. burn was excellent.

time 1h30
score 94\100
