I haven't smoked one since Jesus was a baby, but I do recall liking the natural wrapped version. Never had the maddie, but the nattie has/had a niece caramel element to it. If you can get them on sale for a decent price or pick up a 6 pack to go, I recommend giving them a try. Medium body, won't set your hair on fire, just a solid smoke with a bit of sweetness, spice, leather. Believe it to be a Don Pepin blend, so there's likely to be some pepper in there. $5 on sale is a decent price, IMHO>
