I tried one of these earlier this week and pretty much agree exactly on the flavors and the strength. I had one in the 4.5" x 60. I expected it to be stronger, but I would probably only put it as a medium body.

A few additions I noticed are that it was moderately firm, but still a hair soft. I used a punch to cut it because of the larger ring gauge, and it drew really nicely. Burned really even and even letting it sit for up to 5 minutes at one point I never had to relight. About a 45 minute smoke or so, maybe a little longer, in that size. I got about a 1-1/2" ash, but I was tender with it to get it that far, at the 1" point I could see it getting a little fragile. Lots of white smoke, a nice light gray ash.

I will have to try 1 or 2 more before I decide if these earn a place in my collection.
