Robusto · 45–60 min smoke · Short and thick — the modern default. Plenty of filler for body in a contained, hour-or-less smoke.
At the counter · Forgiving — clean guillotine cut; toast the wide fully before the first draw to avoid a hot start.

Specification
Pairs with
Rye's own pepper meets the smoke's spice head-on — a deliberate, warming match.
