    Sweet without being sugary. That's the trick. The honey rounds the edges, the tobacco gives it somewhere to sit. It's brandy after dinner, not champagne at the door.Halcyon
    Oajan doesn't whisper. The cinnamon hits hard and the honey never lets go, but the osmanthus and artemisia keep it from becoming a sugar bomb. Not subtle, but never crude either.Oajan
