This large 6×60 stick offered rugged construction with minor burn issues needing a couple touch-ups giving lots of smooth smoke and a good draw slighly on the loose side. It was mild-medium at most, offering wood flavors with a touch of nuts and sweetness at a few points, with a short, dry finish.

This 5×60 stick offered a medium body smoke, with tastes of creamy smooth nuts and wood with touches of oil on the lips and a fairly strong pepper kick that came on during the short finish, intensifying near the end. Burn was flawless, draw was very good, no construction issues. It’s a long lasting smoke, I took it for 1 1/2 hours to the band point.

This 5×50 stick offered a very loose draw with a near perfect burn. Flavors came in at about a medium-full body but not overwhelming at all, with predominately nutty and earthy-leather flavors. The finish was short, with a slight oil on the lips and a little pepper kick on the tongue lasting after the draw.

This 5×50 stick offered a medium body experience with lots of spice and pepper following an earthy, slightly sweet note with a long finish. Burn time was about an hour to the band point and it performed flawlessly. The draw had a good amount of resistance and it had no burn issues.

This 7.5×49 stick offered a very long smoke, pushing 2 hours to the nub with a strong flavor and almost full body that sneaks up on you. Flavors included some leather up front changing to roasted nuts and a creamy smooth texture from the 2nd third back. A little pepper kick was on the finish all the way through, with a bit of oil on the lips. Thank you very much to David Morgan from Minneapolis, MN for generously donating a 5 pack of these wonderful sticks for review! Photography by BG Pictures.
