I bought two fivers of these from Famous months ago (great price, had to give them a shot). Lit one right off the truck, and had the same problems others had with keeping the thing lit. Great flavor, but got a little frustrated having to light the wrapper constantly to keep it lit. Bombed a few out, and they had the same issues too. So first fiver was kinda
.
Tried again after dryboxing, and it smoked a bit better, but halfway was a bit of a bastard again keeping it lit. I still held on that they were a good smoke, just needed some time to even out, so no complaints. Decided to just let the last 4 sit up until I lit one up last week. Was able to smoke one to the end without much problem. Good taste and had an experience I was expecting from the beginning.
Sort of sucks it took so long to get to that point, but I'll chalk it up to the sticks being shipped young and wet (guesses). Kudos to them for being here and replacing sticks. I'm sure I'm far out of the range of doing anything about the previous, but I don't mind. These are good sticks and now I just know to keep these resting when they come in for a good long while.
