Absinthe

What Does Absinthe Taste Like?

Absinthe tastes spicy and woody. Anise and wormwood, herbal and intense. It is barely sweet at 1 out of 5, with no cooling at all, and smokes with a firm kick.

It is a dark leaf at heavy strength, so the nicotine reads heavy. Clouds come out thick and the exhale is peppery. It works as an accent rather than a base, so give it the smaller share of the bowl.
