The smoking experience typically evolves throughout, starting with a mix of coffee, chocolate, cedar, and black pepper in the first third. The middle third often sees an increase in chocolate and dark fruit flavors, while the final third may feature a combination of espresso, dark fruits, and chocolate with earthy and peppery background notes.
