Review Notes: I bought a box last July (June 07 box date) and tucked them away. I finally broke down and opened it up. I found a well made stick with a dark oily wrapper, a little veiney. The draw was perfect and after an intial 2 inches of nice spice this mellowed out into a creamy nut,spice and a little coco flavor. Burnt great to the nub and the stronger spice returned in the last 1.5".
