LFD Cheroot/"Icepick vs LFD N.A.S.

I started with the Cheroot/"Icepick", and this is my first one of these.

LFD Cheroot Icepick
Appearance-wise, the "Icepick" is a tad lighter and very few veins. Pre-light draw has faint hints of cinnamon.

With the initial puff, I pick up a more pronounced cinnamon and a hint of pepper. I'm really digging this thing. The cinnamon fades towards the middle of the first third and pick up a heavier pepper note. Burn is dead on!!

First third score: 5/5

Second third continues pretty much like the first third, with a tad more pepper. The cinnamon lingers in the background. Picking up a touch, not a lot, of leather. Burn continues to be dead on. Strength is at a medium, great flavors. I'm really digging this thing a ton.

Second third score 5/5

Final third stays right in line with the first two thirds, with a tad more leather. Pepper and cinnamon are still very prominent. Burn continues to be spot on. Strength may have gone medium/full, but not a full face a$$ kicker.

Final third score: 5/5

Overall score: 5/5

This is stick that I need to stock up on. This thing was FANTASTIC!!!

Agree with Bear that these are not complex per se, but WONDERFUL flavors!! I now know why they are called "Crack Sticks".
