Great stick....I like the whole line...They do have a "kick".....We had some nice weather in early December....in the 60's....so I decided to put up some xmas decorations and fire up a "Gran Consul", 5 x 60 I think....Anyway, I'm up on the extension ladder hanging a wreath when the "nic buzz" hit....I told my son to get outta the way....dropped the stogie and waited for my head to clear....luckily the only tragedy was a semi-wasted stick..Note to self: Only smoke at "ground level"
