I've smoked the Bengal and the Corona. Yes, very peppery and a wood-dry smoke. Tasty, even though I don't lean toward that flavor profile myself. Not bad at all, actually quite good. They are really well-constructed and pretty to look at.
My own opinion, and I know this sort of thing tends to be very particularistic, is that they smoke well at the higher end of humidity (72%). My opinion.
