I won a box of these for $43 on Cbid. I decided to spark one up tonight in honor of my Oregon Ducks putting a beatdown on Michigan today (college football fans, look out for the Ducks). This baby lit up easily and put out a ton of smoke... and a ton of flavor. Now it's been a little while since I've had an original edge so I can't really tell you if they taste identical, but if my memory serves me correctly this had a pretty similar flavor profile. I might even go so far as to say this smoke was a little smoother. It had a few burn problems in the first 1/3, but nothing too severe. A very tasty smoke. I plan on keeping these around for a while.
