smoked one of these last night and loved it. There was nothing particularly unique about the flavor (doubt I could pick it out blind among other Nics) but it was very complex, balanced and tasty.

My thoughts were pretty much the same as the original poster. started out a little harsh, could hardly nose inhale at all, but after an inch or so it smoothed out and maintained a very nice complex flavor for the rest of the smoke.I only purged once but It never really got bitter either, which is a pet peeve of mine.

I will be buying more of these for sure.
