I do. I was surprised because with all the showmanship I was expecting something more powerful. It was mild and smooth to me. What was odd is one of the box-pressed edges had a sharp 90° angle to it. Never seen that before.

I’m not at that level yet. I’m a too harsh > this is mellow enough and smoke comes out > hey I get some nice taste/smell from this > too strong/peppery. Though the last black swan I had I got some chocolate notes from. That I dig.
