And right, some of the "Inn" only are nasty. Pass.
Time for some fish

Didn't like it as much as the regular Four Kicks. It had a great aroma but it tasted like bitter coffee and burnt leather. Funny thing is that it was more bitter in the beginning and smoothed out as it got down to the nub. I wouldn't suggest it if you're a fast smoker or if you enjoy typical sweet maduro flavors. Then again, it only had a couple of weeks of downtime so it will probably improve with age. Construction was decent, only touched it up once.How does the Black Belt compare to the regular Four Kicks?Sorry, Mike. A lot going on at the home front this evening.The regular Four Kicks is not a maduro. It's a nice medium bodied stick with cedar and nutty notes. Haven't had it in a while but that's what I can recall.

Guess I shoulda expressed myself better. What I meant to ask is it just a Four Kicks with a Maduro wrapper or have they changed the blend as well as the wrapper?
Another short list smoke was had today. Well, it was actually a revisit. Smoked a well aged 601 greenie. Still good.

Or at least it tastes like that to me.
He took over 601, Sosa, and some of the stuff made at Espinosa
