Review Notes: This was a fine looking stick, dark and veinless, felt great to hold. But that's where the love affair ended. It drew like a McDonald's straw and was harsh and chemical-tasting. My wife who is usually very patient complained about the stench and I offered without a bit of hesitation to quit it. I like a full-bodied smoke, but I also like some complexity in the flavor profile--this had none. I'm blaming this on the blend alone. . .completely hamfisted with nothing to offer.
