Impact
Teeny bit past PG-13 on account of toasted tobacco leaf (remember those “Lucky Strike – it’s toasted” ads?. No one lights up anymore except for the likes of Ray Johnson exhibits or Sean Penn interviews, which explains why a woman smoking nowadays seems so refreshing & shows up in dreams).

| Color: | titian – medium orange-brown |
| Surface: | superb make-up artist face |
| Temper: | flashy |
| Snap: | modest |
Aroma 7.3 / 10
earth-clad: roasted cocoa -> smoked wood -> petrol-flower (elder-perfumed crude oil!) -> coconut/clove -> mace
Mouthfeel 12.4 / 15
| Texture: | smooth mass |
| Melt: | gradual & even |
Flavor 42.9 / 50
drops in cocoa -> date -> tobacco leaf -> spice-tea (clove/cinnamon/allspice) -> licorice twist all backed by dominant cocoa force, fizzes up into a bomb cola
Quality 17.1 / 20
Solid, everyday workhorse chocolate with enough muscle & dimension – body, symmetry, & depth - that nicely balances lateral / vertical highlights to satisfy more than just cravings. Patient roast by Coppeneur standards – a wise decision for a rather single-dimensional bean vulnerable to going flat.
