What do reviewers say about Black Beard and Ember?
Lavender and tobacco in the same sentence makes people nervous. It shouldn't. This is where the tension lives, herbaceous cool against warm, cured leaf.Black Beard
Ember wears its smoke like a second skin, tar, leather, amber resin all tangled together. Either that combination pulls you in or it doesn't. No middle ground.Ember
