I smoked one last week and found it to be just OK. Nice flavor and burn, but the draw was extremely tight making the stick a real challenge to finish. IMHO, RyJ's box-pressing technique really detracts from the air flow by compacting the filler. If you decide to buy one, you might want to round out the stick with your hands pre-light to loosen it up a bit. I have 4 more in my humi and will let them age before trying a second one.
