smokiest

Filled with fumes

Smokiest is the superlative of smoky—the most filled with, affected by, or resembling smoke.

A room can be the smokiest in the building, a bar the smokiest in town: It was the smokiest dive I'd ever been in.

The word extends to flavors, colors, and voices that evoke smoke: the smokiest whiskey on the shelf.
