Man its been a while but these are very good for the $. Shout out again to @PuffTheMagicDragon for the recommendation. I checked my spreadsheet and I paid $2.88/stick plus taxes for a box. Nice even burn, good draw, lots of smoke, pretty good flavor and a decent nic hit by the end.... This guy has had a few months in the happy box.

Watch for sales at da page. When I get half way through this box I will look to reload.
