I am coming in at 43 rg so this may disqualify me but I have had dry boxing and was the first warm weekend in Chicago plus the likelihood of me winning is almost nil anyways. Lol.

Lots of talk about this stick .... it did not disappoint but 95 may be a little generous i would safely say it was a 88-90 but needs a some time down. Not b/c of edges as it was very smooth and had zero edges, but rather tobacco was still a little moist towards the end had to relight a few times. I typically store at 66-68 degrees and 62-64rg depending on the day...

started punch spicy not overwhelming but def there and clean tobacco. Sweet creamy and mild ...

as I smoked it it became more medium, never more than this. Stayed pretty one dimensional to My pallet which was fine. Very clean tobacco, enjoyable, semi sweet, and smooooooth. The nuts I didn’t get like when I smoke a ? 48. Imho the ? 48 is better dollar for dollar..

long story short I’m glad I bought a box but won’t be buying anymore for the price point i can smoke many other for same money I enjoy more but that’s just me. More for all you punch 898 lovers ! Smoke time was 85 minutes very pleasant and enjoyable !

cheers
