Haven't had one of these yet but will soon.
I guess since tastes vary so much, not surprised some did not like the 40th or 80th. For me, the many of both I have had have never let me down. Just smoked some 40th with dad last week that I had been sitting on for about 6 months. No way was I let down.
However, for $25 bucks, I prefer the 40th over the $30 80th.
Pricey? Sure. So is a BMW but decided to get one of those too.
