Many may not agree with me but here it goes...last year a "buddy" of mine game me one of these, accept it was in a glass tube with a golf ball on top! I found it a this summer and decided to smoke it. First I can tell you that the construction was terrible. I had to handle it like rice paper. The draw was impossible, I kept clipping the end and finally I was able to get a minimal amount of smoke. Forget trying to message the plug out, the wrapper is way to delicate. Anyway, what smoke I did get was mild and not that terrible but it was really hard to tell, not enough of it. Perhaps I just got a bad one...and really bad at that. It was really unsmokeable. So, IMHO, for $17 I will buy 5 smokes I know will smoke. Sorry for the rant...one of those days.
