I smoked one of these babys a few weeks ago and hated it, i felt it was harsh, strong and just a terrible smoke (but it did burn fine). Back then, I had read good things about these so i bought 2of them. Well, i smoked the 2nd one tonight & thought it was great ! Looking back i think it must have been my taste was off that day. This smoke went mellow all the way down...I even nubbed it cause it was so good !! I did enjoy your review though..Thanks, keep up the great work
