When I first put my nose to the sample, it smelled identical to BBQ sauce. I was sure this would be something too smoky for my taste, but oh boy, was I wrong. When i first sprayed this on, i got a blast of smoky tobacco as i expected, but after a few minutes of letting it dry, i could feel how the spiciness of the tobacco came out, and that with the addition of honey later on, made this one of my favorite tobacco scents ever, This will be my top 1 gatekeep as i cant let anyone else get this masterpiece before i get a bottle
