Three rings mark the three recorded thirds; the curve between them is monotone, so it can never overshoot the scale.

Notes

One of my all time favourite and a regular pick. Toss a dynamite in a coffee barn and stand in the epicentre. Bold and spicy in the beginning, smoothing out in the mid and returning as the aromatic spice and cocoa powerhouse at the end. This cigar leaves you satisfied for the evening. Pair it with cask strength scotch, dark rum, rye. One of the best blends AJ ever made.
