Default Re: Xen by Nish Patel

I thought flavor-wise, it was a solid morning smoke. My main problem was in construction. They did not roll the wrapper well at all on the one I smoked. You coulda pushed the filler and binder out while holding on the the wrapper lightly and been left with a "wrapper tube" it was so loose. I know they have to leave the wrapper slightly loose for a box press, but you'd think with how many box pressed smokes RP does they'd have that down pat. My coworkers who tried the other samples had the same sentiments. Either way a good breakfast stick if you can get past the whole wrapper issue.

Don't give the punks any ideas, or the next catch phrase might be "I'm smokin' a Xen blunt, yo!"

I've never had a construction problem with any of mine. In fact, I was thinking last night that it was great how I can bite the foot and it doesn't fall apart.
