After the initial third, the ash gracefully falls, making way for the second third where the ash becomes remarkably solid. Though complexity may not stand out, the flavors steadily intensify. Roasted aromas, coffee beans, and delightful roasted notes emerge, elevating the experience. The intensity of the smoke increases as we progress. Towards the end of the second third, the ash naturally drops off. With every puff, an abundant cloud of smoke envelops the air, enhancing the overall enjoyment.
