Hintish-at-best spicyness and broadleaf flavor residual. Smoked for about 10-15 minutes total, and the flavor seemed to become more diluted over time. Tossed in the graveyard about 15 mins in.

    BURNED & DESTROYED - NO INTEL REQUIRED

    3/3:

    BURNED & DESTROYED - NO INTEL REQUIRED

    No, I haven't. How do they fare against the Rubicon? Worth trying?

    I think the Rubicon was garbage. I smoked 2. The others I smoked by the bundle. For the price they are solid.
