CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE 2022 L.E. is a full-bodied, medium-strength 6.5x44. The wrapper is a flawless and beautiful Corojo 99 claro leaf. Fillers are a closely guarded secret...but all tobaccos are 6-14 years aged!
First light is a huge wave of chocolate chips, maple, sweet cream, and baking spices. Roasted coffee beans, black pepper, and Madagascar vanilla immediately follow. The finish adds a lingering dark chocolate. The retrohale brings a warming cinnamon burn.
 
As it progresses, notes of dark brown sugar, white oak, and whipped cream appear. The blend gets toastier with hints of walnut, clove, and cocoa. The balance is impeccably perfect!
 
Halfway, it gets even richer! Bold notes of milk chocolate, cappuccino, cake frosting, and aged leather emerge. Toffee, dried fruit, cardamom, and graham cracker immediately follow.  It's hard to describe how deep the flavors are. It's completely incredible! 
 
Last third, everything gets intense! Caramel, whiskey barrel, and nutmeg join the mix. Creamy espresso, custard, toasted almond, and Tootsie Roll (don't know how else to describe it.) The flavors continue to layer and layer over each other. The complexity is off the charts!
