Nose of spice and mentholyptus™, tar. 

Palate is gently smokey and earthy, semi-dry with figs and dark dried fruits, a little tangy, very very nice. Finish continues that with sweet tobacco ending the long fade, some of that menthol-eucalyptus thing, and good medicine.

Really nice and immensely pleasing, peated and satisfying without being a crotch-kicker. Unusual extra dimensions bring it to A-. Fair price makes this a must-buy for those who can get it.
