Review Notes: This had a fairly solid construction. Though the cap was too small, it cut fine. There were large veins in the wrapper that I don't think will win any beauty awards. The first third was bland with a bitter aftertaste. It mellowed out in the middle but still not much complexity or standout flavors. The aroma was a little harsh to me and throughout I was left with a peppery aftertaste which to me was neither foul nor pleasant. The ash was flaky and didn't hold on too long, but was a solid white throughout. While the flavor built from the middle to the end to be a nice amount of earth and wood and the aftertaste subsided, I didn't want to smoke for 20 min. to get to relaxing and pleasant flavors. This wasn't terrible, but even for the modest price point, there are better sticks out there.
