There’s a thin line of smoke that hangs in the air a bit longer than you expect from the first pulls. Whatever was buzzing around in your head a few minutes ago starts to slide off to the sides. You pick up a hint of toast and maybe a little earth before you’ve even started paying real attention. Nothing big happens in that opening stretch, but it quietly nudges the day a little farther away.
Flavor and Character
