I picked one up today to try something new. Wow did I pick the wrong stick. I wasn't expecting it to be amazing for the price, but I thought it was going to be decent.

Where to begin. First of all it didn't put out much smoke. The draw was much tighter than I prefer. I actually had to work to get smoke out of it. Then because I had to work so much the smoke was hot and it tasted harsh. The ash would stay on for maybe a 1/4 of an inch or so. It looked pretty but it fell way to easily.

After I got about 2 inches in I almost gave up. I was taking one last puff before I tossed it and it opened up. Still not as much smoke as I would have like or expected, but it was a big step from before. But...the wrapper cracked shortly after. Then one of my friends stopped by the coffee shop and I was talking to her and it went out. I didn't bother to relight it.

On the up side, the burn was very nice. It got a little out of whack once but quickly fixed itself, and it wasn't bad looking.

I don't think I'd give this another chance unless it was given to me. There are just better things to spend the same money on.
