I had one of these yesterday, which was the first time I tried the 88. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was good. I enjoyed the spice, but at times it got a bit overwhelming and masked the rest of the flavor.

I had this resting in the humi since about October at about 65% RH. I think if I were to try another one, it may go in the dry box for a day or two beforehand.

For the price, I'm not sure if I'd buy another after not being blown away by this. I know there are a couple different blends out there, but I don't have a B&M close to me that carries them.

Thanks for the review.
