This is a good daily driver. I’ve smoked about a box and a half and will continue to purchase them. Flavor between sticks and construction can be a bit inconsistent but never bad and when you get a good one hot dang is it good. Draw can be tight but nothing a draw tool can’t correct.
If you’re looking for a budget priced good sweeter smoke to pair with coffee this should be considered.
