I enjoyed this stick with 3 fingers of crown on the rocks. What an ice pairing for a great smoke.
The stick burned even through out and the taste kept changing from spice to mellow wood back to spice.(Never made me sweat) and was mellow for the pallet. All in all I enjoyed this stick. Will smoke and review stick #2 tomorrow night. In addition to posting my opinion as to what stick was the better smoke and what stick was the more pricier.

Thank again Spiffy for the pleasure of enjoying this stick.
Stick #2 from Spiffy… Well I’m not going to bore everyone with a long story about a stick I did not like so, that’s just it…I did not like this stick. This stick looked good upon inspection and smelled nice out of the box. It was a square pressed Maduro. I was really looking forward to the taste this baby was going to give off. Gave her a light and then it happened…It turned on me…A lot less smoke then I am used to and the taste was very strong and over powering. I kept smoking it in hopes it would mellow a bit but it never did. It stayed overpowering from start to finish. The burn was very uneven and to put it simply I just didn’t like it.

So my guess is of the two sticks I had…# 1 was the more $$$ Stick and #2 was the cheaper one…Once again Spiffy I really want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to try both of these sticks. Loved #1 but #2 left me blue.
