I smoked quite a few VS sticks when I first started out, and with very, very, few exceptions, I regretted smoking each one. I typically experience both construction problems ( over/under filled / shitty wrappers / etc...) and just generally a flavor profile I don't care for.

I think I even have a few of the 55 series still lying around the cooler somewhere. Send me your addy and I'll get them to you in a while.
