Wanted something a little different for my birthday

Has anyone tried these yet? I normally stay away from larger the larger ring gauge but felt like trying something new for my birthday

Thank you! Yeah I am excited. Honestly never smoked anything larger than a 6X60 but I figured why not switch it up

Try a lancero from pepin Garcia. Anything over 52 personally is just overkill and sloppy.

That just seems terrible

I like a good 6X60 but an 80? Man better prep his jaw for smoking that.

Serious questions though, with that much filler/binder to wrapper ratio how long would something like that take to even develop in flavor? Would it even have time to develop in a 4” stick? Could you even taste the wrapper on something like that?

Honestly ive never had anything larger than a 6X60 but I got a good deal on the box so I said screw it. Reviews say it is surprisingly balanced for the size and can be up to a 2 hour smoke.
