Anyone else experiencing this? |
Mac, was spending some time going through some threads and came across your thread a while back. IMHO the one that I just smoked was from you and me being a newer smoker I must say it didn't contain much spice to it. I was able to easily exhale through nostrils (snorkle, I think it is sometimes called) multiple times without much burning sensation. I enjoyed the smoke quite a bit, but thought it was relatively mild. My guess is like you mentioned already, they might just lose their spice as they age.
