I don't think I could smoke this all day, but I wouldn't want to do without it when I'm in the mood for it. The 1Q adds a tad of stregnth and coconut flavor.

About as middle of the road as you can get in terms of tobacco. This is not a complex or dynamic tobacco, rather the contrary, it is a soloist that is normally heard with a full orchestra (1Q, HGL, RLP-6) and you finally get to to hear them play on their own-simply stunning. I like to smoke it till it loses its flavor, let it cool, and then flick out that last little plug of flavorless dottle.
