Review Notes: The sticks I've had in this line were very solidly rolled with no soft spots at all. I keep em at 65% humi and the burn is perfect and the roll is hard and smooth. This is one very tasty smoke with plenty of power. I don't know what rancid was smoking, but it wasn't one of these sticks. I haven had a bad one yet. Sure there better sticks out there, but lets give this one it's due.
