Used a generous 1/4 t of ground cinnamon on foil and a kitchen torch to ignite. Amazing nose - smoke and modest (but distinct) cinnamon. Cool on the tongue (a bit of a surprise with the smoke) and smooth, a little burnt mashmallow in the initial taste, transitions to spicy rye and rum, with some smooth chocolate at the end. This is a fascinating treat. I note that the nose in later tastes was not appealing - like burnt meat - I took off 1/2 star for that. I think I'll try the Beil trick (below) next time, to see if I get a better residual smoke note.
