Review Notes: After lighting showed glue all over stick like they have a bucket they just dump it in when they get the perfecto shape. Split right down the middle after one inch. Kept wanting to go out b4 the hump. With that said, flavor was just ok, it was packed dense and took about 45 mins to smoke, if you puff too hard it really heats up. Yea ash holds on, but its a small ring gauge to start with. Glad I tried one from B&M b4 I picked up a box. Definitely will not buy a box for the price.
