Review Notes: just nothing that special about it. It is a good smoke though. Just not as good as Pepin's other smokes. Cedar and smooth spice with some earth in there. I didn't wait quite long enough for this one to riper up. Wanted to start it to early in it's life. But the rest were left to sleep a while longer, and that made the differenct. A much better smoke was had with great construction and burn. Nice ash too. The flavors also were better . It's a very good smoke just not worth the hype.
