Now I love them, although I prefer Old Gowrie and Marlin Flake over HotW. I know I am in the minority there, but there you have it.
Quick update.
I ordered some Marlin Flake and my fears about the flavoring were unfounded.

Man, it is great stuff. Love it and I imagine it would be even better with some age on it.
