*Deffinatly worth the price I got them at, I would recomend them for a nice frequent (maybe not every day) smoke.

Nice review. I picked up a 5er of these a while ago (torps I think), and I thought they were a decent smoke.

I think I spotted one of these the other day in the cooler. Good job Andrew.

The couple that I've smoked have been very good. I agree with your review on the flavor. I usually keep my out for these at my B&M.

Thanks for the review.
