The light gave a medium/full profile with a spicy retro and notes of dark wood, bitter black coffee, leather, and spice. I've had the non-barber pole version of this blend in several vitolas and this was maybe a bit mellower in terms of the profile, but not hugely different, and I wouldn't have been able to say it was a barber pole if I'd smoked it with my eyes closed. The burn continued a bit wavily but self-correcting through the 2nd third and things were otherwise uneventful down to the nub.
