Review Notes: A fan of the Old Fashioned Rothschild sized sticks, I was disappointed by this larger version. Wrapper had several veins and blemishes, it never came apart. Spongy construction with a firm draw. A decent inch long black and white ash. Burned fairly straight and never went out. A mild-medium woodsy flavor with lots of acrid smoke. The stick didn't taste as bad as the awful fumes spilling forth, which kept bugs away in the back yard. The hint of flavor disappeared with about a third of the stick left. I guess this is what other reviewers refer to as a yard-gar. The experience makes me hesitant to try other Old Fashioned's. I sure do enjoy the Rothschild size though.
