Intro / Pre-Smoke Judgement:

Second stick from the stallion himself, @Ciro . He personally introduced me to my first Jas Sum Kral, and the attention grabbing "Fuck The FDA". I've been looking forward to one of these ever since the stick's name jumped in my eyeballs.

1/2:

There's a whole lot going on here. Cherry, orange, great tobacco and spices. All intermixed and superbly melded. Burn is kinda uneven at times, but isn't an issue, and easy to manage with some blow in the cut. Flaky and light gray ash. The orange taste could be orange pop/soda. The cherry is more subtle than the orange. Can't discern or tell if much is on the oral residual, but one time I remembered a nice citric acid or orange taste slowly washing over my tongue and palate. Maybe medium-plus body. Smooth, but with a nice tobacco roughness or bite. Nice draw.

2/2:

Uptick in intensity of tobacco. The orange may be more liqueur-ish, because it seems to have changed a bit. There's a subtle gingery spice that surfaces - it may have been in the 1/2. Overall the melding is different in that it's more bold, and all other flavors are harder to individually discern, or have changed in a way. It's a pretty cool change to me.

Trial By Smoke Judgement:

A fan-fucking-tastic smoke. I want more by Jas Sum Kral. I want more Fuck The FDA sticks. $10 is very much worth this stick. HIGHLY recommended to the bums. There's only one bad thing about this stick - Now I gotta rearrange my priority buy list to fit some in, since these are a limited edition, and I want some before they're gone.



Ciro,

Thanks again, my friend. It was an awesome gift, and a helluva great smoke.
