I live most of what Curivari puts out. The flavors on this were ok but the draw was so wide open. It was hard to interpret what was going on since it was burning hot from the draw being so open. I’m getting more bitterness and that’s a shame because I feel there is solid flavors coming from this but the bitterness is overpowering it. I’m gonna consider this a one off as everything else I’ve had has been spot on.
