This was an oft suggested buy from others in my area. I happened to be working a job site for Yale just 10 minutes away and figured it was serendipitous that I heard about them when I'd just started working down the way and decided to drop in.
I ended up getting Captain Courageous and Black Magic along with this one, both of which I did enjoy as much or more than Mystique. I've also tried blending Mystique and Black Magic together, which was still good, but I felt the Black Magic was more my jam. It's a nice chocolatey-toffee flavor that's not fake or overbearing. It's a mellow smoke with a nice scent in the room, but what really surprised me was the lack of tongue bite. I probably should've packed a little tighter, but I was rushed to get a bowl going and tamped the top tighter than the lower half and didn't let it dry for a bit first. The top half was pure ash, but the bottom half was still wet. I got a few lil burps out of it as well, but if you pack it well and take the time to treat it right, this is a delightful smoke. If you want less nicotine in your smoke, I found Black Magic to be a little more flavorful and less nicotine.
If you're in the area, it's aboalutely worth stopping in and trying it out. I regret nothing about this purchase.
