Review Notes: I got a box of these on special, though special they are not. The construction method is OK, but the materials aren't. The wrappers are very rough and full of veins. Despite blowing them out, I always seem to get a mouth full of grit. The bitter taste is always there and is unpleasant. It mellows during the middle, but the seed is planted, so to speak. In the "other notes" category, I remove my bands prior to smoking, and these consistently refuse to come off without tearing. No more for me.
