Review Notes: I've read many reviews on this smoke, most people complaining about the flavor or it being stinky. I on the other hand rather enjoyed this smoke. At first its a pretty smoke, nice and smooth firm but a little give. The aroma isn't like that of straight Kaluha more like vanilla with hints of Kaluha. Has a sweet taste off the end but nothing sugary as previously describes. Very clean taste. The burn was excellent not one problem, and it stayed light for long periods without going out. The final 1/3 the flavors died down somewhat but the smoke remained good. Overall has perfect construction. The tastes is a very clean one nothing over powering. For about 4 a stick in a 5 pack from CI, was well worth it. Grab a few of these for that early morning smoke with a cup of coffee on a nice relaxing sunday. Personally I think many of the previous reviewers werent ready for the change of pace smoke this one was.
