CAO Extreme (Churchill)

First Inch:

Decent pepper on the retrohale

Medium-plusish

Nice tobacco flavor

Kinda basic, nothing jumped out at me

Decent draw

Second Inch & On:

Everything dropped off like it ran off a cliff, or went very steadily down a graded hill

Attempted a couple purges - helped for maybe a puff

Became diluted

Almost nothing after the second inch. It was sucking air with a whisper of tobacco

Purging resulted the same as above

Let it die. Cut the end back some and relit - no joy

Tossed in the graveyard around 2 1/2 inches in

Trial By Smoke Judgement:

Gurkha-esque. Just like a couple Gurkhas I've had recently. It had potential, though, or at least I thought. I'm not interested in returning, even for a buck or so. Can't recommend to the bums. Save your dollars, and buy the CAO Amazon Basin instead, if you want a good CAO. Or save them for something else...damn near anything else.
