Construction and Draw

The cold draw offers cocoa husk, sweet hay, and a dash of pepper. Upon lighting, the draw is smooth with ideal resistance, producing dense, aromatic smoke. The burn line stays sharp with minimal corrections, while the ash forms tight, light-gray stacks that hold well between drops, reflecting excellent craftsmanship.
